Excerpt from The Beggar's Opera: Its Predecessors and Successors
This little volume aims at presenting in a handy form such facts as bear upon the inception of Gay's masterpiece and its influence upon the English stage; and secondly at giving a brief account of the Italian operas that preceded it and of the ballad operas for which it led the way.
The recent production has caused a renewed interest in The Beggar's Opera and given to the twentieth century a glimpse of the dramatic art which delighted generations of our ancestors.
