James Bridie was one of the most influential British dramatists of the 20th century. This new collection includes The Sunlight Sonata, A Sleeping Clergyman, Mr Bolfry, and Daphne Laureola, along with what is possibly Bridie's most famous work, The Anatomist: the tale of Dr Knox and his relationship with Edinburgh's notorious bodysnatchers, Burke and Hare. All the plays are accompanied by extensive scholarly notes and a glossary.
