Later Wrappers. Condición: Very Good + +. No Jacket. Fourth Edition. [vi], 75, [1] epilogue. 205 x 130 mm. First published the previous year. First performed in 1794, Cumberland's THE JEW is his most noteworthy play. Richard Cumberland (1732-1811), was born in the master's lodge of Trinity College, Cambridge; his maternal grandfather's residence. On his father's side he was the great-grandson and son of a bishop; on his mother's, the grandson of the classical scholar Richard Bentley, and the son a woman who inspired John Byrom to compose one of the most popular pastoral poems of the time. His family connections secured him the postion as private secretary to the Earl of Halifax, who was then the First Lord of Trade and Plantations. There follow a number of political appointments which left him abundant leisure for literary pursuits. He published upwards of a hundred books, about half of which were plays. He died in 1811 in Tunbridge Wells. His fame and influence as a dramatist is is demonstrated by his being interred at Westminster Abbey. This work, one of his more famous, is a "comedy" only in the strictly "sentimental" sense common to the time. The play is memorable for its main character, Sheva, a wealthy Jewish usurer who, by the end of the convoluted plot, has shown himself to be "the widow's friend, the orphan's father, the poor man's protector, the universal philanthropist." Such a sympathetic depiction of a Jew was rare, if not unprecedented, in the history of the English stage. "The benevolent design of the author appears to have been to rescue an injured and persecuted race of men from the general reproach which has fallen upon them, by exhibiting one of that body as uniting with the peculiarities of his sect eminent virtues." (The Analytical Review). Perhaps even more surprising was the work's success with audiences and critics alike; it re-established Cumberland's career after many years of flops. The play was hugely popular throughout Great Britain and America, and was performed to acclaim in Germany and Paris. However, slightly tarnishing Cumberland's humanitarianism was his subsequent bitterness over the lack of "gratitude" (read: emoluments) rendered him by the Jewish community for his efforts on their behalf. "They gave me nothing;" he is reported to have said, "and to tell you the truth I am glad of it; for if they had, in all probability, I should have been indicted for receiving stolen goods." Notoriously self-important and thin-skinned, Cumberland was, in 1779, immortalized by Sheridan as the character Sir Fretful Plagiary in The Critic. Cumberland tried to reverse the image of the Jew created by Shakespeare in The Merchant of Venice . . . In the person of Sheva, Cumberland brought a new kind of Jew to the English stage. Sheva, like Shylock, is a usurer, hustled and insulted by the gentlemen of the town . . . But by the end of the play the audience is made to realize that not one of the unflattering epithets applies to him . . . In spite of touches of melodrama and sentimentality, The Jew did well on stage and had an influence on the more serious drama of the period" - EJ V, 1169-70.

Sixth edition. 8vo. 64, [2]pp. Modern three-quarter calf over marbled boards with gold lettered red title-label. English dramatist Richard Cumberland wrote "The Jew" in 1794, attempting to reverse the image of the Jew created by Shakespeare in "The Merchant of Venice" almost 200 years earlier. (Critics today still argue over Shakespeare's play's stance on anti-Semitism). "In the person of Sheva, Cumberland brought a new kind of Jew to the English stage. Sheva, like Shylock, is a usurer, hustled and insulted by the gentlemen of the town as "the meerest muckworm in the city of London." But by the end of the play the audience is made to realize that not one of the unflattering epithets really applies to him, and he is acclaimed as "the widow's friend, the orphan's father, the poor man's protector, the universal philanthropist." (Encyclopaedia Judaica). Minor rubbing to title-label. Heavy age toning (Offsetting) on front and rear endpapers. Usual rippling to leaves. Light sporadic foxing throughout. Signature of previous owner and "London 758" handwritten on front endpaper. Binding in near fine, interior in very good condition. Hardcover.

An extremely scarce advertisement for a performance by the theater company known as "Their Majesties Servants", taking place at the Drury Lane (Theater-Royal) on Friday May 1st, 1795. The performance included a presentation of Richard Cumberland's popular comedic play "The Jew", followed by a solo musical performance from acclaimed English composer and opera singer Thomas Welsh (aka "Master Welsh", c.1780-1848) and concluding with the premiere performance of Samuel Birch's (1757-1841) two-act musical drama "The Adopted Child" (also including Welsh). The poster lists the program of the performance and the cast involved. Address and ticketing information at the bottom of the text. Minor rubbing and a few small closed tears to extremities. A few folding creases. In overall very good condition. Protected by modern mylar. vg. Broadside. * Samuel Birch (1757-1841) was an English politican who is best known for having served as Lord Mayor of London in 1814.

First edition; 12mo (19 x 11.5 cm); woodcut device, comma after 'Jew' in title, dramatis personae to title verso; stitched as issued, rough-cut edges, internally very clean; [2], 48 pp. First performed at London's Theatre Royal, Drury Lane in May 1794, Richard Cumberland's (1732-1811) The Jew is notable for being the first play in English theatre to portray a Jewish character as the hero of a stage production, reversing the tradition of presenting Jews negatively as the villains in dramatic works. 'The Jew is often read as a revision of Shakespeare's The Merchant of Venice, the vehicle for drama's most famous and notorious Jewish character: Shylock Sheva's [the protagonist] polar opposite. Though the play's plot mirrors much of Merchant's, it also updates it to reflect 18th-century stage traditions, including a complete overhaul of the romantic plot, and most importantly it highlights Sheva's charitable nature' (Jewish Public Library). The play enjoyed considerable success at the time, particularly in Ireland and North America where it was performed under the revised title The Benevolent Hebrew. This imprint 'printed for the booksellers' is the scarcest of the three London editions of 1794. ESTC lists only 8 copies. ESTC T188353.
