Dion Boucicault was a witty, selfish and deceitful charmer, as bigamist, a profligate spendthrift and the author of dozens of successful plays, only a handful of which endure. Among these early comedies influenced Oscar Wilde, and his Irish melodramas, Shaw, Synge and O'Casey. "London Assurance" was his first success, a modern comedy, which opened at Covent Garden in 1841 and was the hit of the season. This is the first fully-annotated edition of the play, and it includes an outline of the author's amazing career, and account of the play's composition, and a critical introduction.
