This book proposes a vibrant intertextual dialogue between St. John Hankins manners comedies and what are considered Bernard Shaws minor Edwardian comedies and, after the war, some of his most experimental extravagant plays. Engaging thematic topics ranging from philanthropy and parenting to marital alliances and comic endings, their dramaturgy was truly in conversation over form and content as they re-purposed one another in a vital wrangling to direct the creative evolution of modern British comedy. This original study will no doubt draw attention to St. John Hankins work, which may in turn receive further scrutiny from scholars, students, and theatre practitioners.
