About this book
The Manoeuvres of Jane is an 1898 comedy by Henry Arthur Jones (1851-1929), one of the two leading English playwrights of the 1890s alongside Arthur Wing Pinero. The play follows the wilful Jane Nangle, who outwits her guardian and her scheming elders to secure the husband of her own choosing, in a plot of country-house courtship intrigue that gave the comic actress of the day a famous title role. Jones rose from commercial travelling to theatrical fame with The Silver King in 1882 and built a career of society dramas and comedies including The Liars and Mrs Dane's Defence. The Manoeuvres of Jane premiered at the Haymarket Theatre and ran with great success. The play shows the polished commercial comedy of the late Victorian West End at its most assured.
