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.
