This thesis examines the theatre theory as outlined by Joanna Baillie in Introductory Discourse to her Series of Plays in Which it is Attempted to Delineate the Stronger Passions of the Mind: Each Passion Being the Subject of a Tragedy and a Comedy (the Plays on the Passions). It has become common among theatrical and literary scholars to condemn Baillie's work as either a dramatic failure or a literary oddity. Although attempts have been made to rehabilitate Baillie's reputation, most of the work has been done from the feminist perspective and Baillie's Plays on the Passions project continues to be perceived as a failure. Using contemporary reviews, modern analysis, and Baillie's theory, this thesis analyzes four of Baillie's plays from her Plays on the Passions series to determine how well they adhere to Baillie's theory. Using the findings of that analysis, this thesis analyzes Baillie's work according to the context she establishes for herself in her Introductory Discourse.

Baillie’s eminently readable dramas stand at the crossroads of the Scottish Enlightenment and early Romanticism, and compellingly engage with questions of women’s rights. Her exploration of the passions, first published in 1798, is here reissued with a wealth of contextual materials including “The Introductory Discourse,” Baillie’s own brand of feminist literary criticism. The three plays included here are “Count Basil: A Tragedy,” and “The Tryal: A Comedy,” which show love from opposing perspectives; and “De Monfort: A Tragedy,” which explores the drama of hate. Among other appendices, the Broadview edition includes materials on the contemporary philosophical understanding of the passions, and contemporary reviews. Baillie’s work is enjoying a revival of interest. She lived a long life, (1762-1851), and had a wide circle of literary friends including Maria Edgeworth and Sir Walter Scott (who termed her a “female Shakespeare”). Scottish born, she moved to England in her twenties where she then resided. Her Plays on the Passions, alternatively known as A Series of Plays in which it is Attempted to Delineate the Stronger Passions of the Mind—Each Passion being the Subject of a Tragedy and Comedy was produced in three volumes between 1798 and 1812. The first volume created quite a stir amongst the literary circles of London and Edinburgh when introduced anonymously. The speculation into the authorship concluded two years later when Baillie came forward as the writer of the collection, thereby causing a subsequent sensation since no one had considered the shy spinster a candidate in the mystery.
