Virtuous Orphan

William Harlin McBurney is Associate Professor and Michael Francis Shugrue is Assistant Professor of English at the University of Illinois.

“The Virtuous Orphan is an important document in the history of English taste, rather than a successful adaptation of Marivaux, and from this point of view Mary Collyer deserves our attention.”—L’Esprit Créateur“As a whole, with its often delightful but melodramatic moments, the thought­ful introduction and scholarly record of many translations ‘The Virtuous Orphan’ is well worth reading.”—New Haven Register
