About this book
Whitewashing Julia is a 1903 comedy by Henry Arthur Jones (1851-1929), the English playwright of the late Victorian and Edwardian West End. The play concerns Mrs Julia Wren, a widow trailing a rumoured past involving a Mediterranean prince, and the campaign by the respectable society of Shanctonbury to whitewash her reputation into marriageability, a process Jones turns into satire on the moral bookkeeping of English county society, which forgives anything it has decided to forget. The play continues the studies of the woman with a past that Jones had pursued seriously in Mrs Dane's Defence, here in a comic key. It premiered at the Garrick Theatre under Charles Frohman's management. The piece shows the Edwardian society comedy working its standard material with full professional polish.
