Best known today for the novels Joseph Andrews and Tom Jones, Henry Fielding was just as renowned in his own time as a prolific and highly successful dramatist. Among his most popular plays was The Tragedy of Tragedies: Or, The Life and Death of Tom Thumb, one of the most extraordinary parodies in English theater. The print version of the play incorporates, in an elaborate structure of annotations, a remarkable satire of heroic drama and of the pretensions and excesses of “false scholarship.” This edition includes the text of the play itself and the text of the extraordinary notes (by Fielding’s pseudonym “H. Scriblerus Secundus”), appearing in facing page layout; extensive explanatory notes for the modern reader appear at the bottom of the page. Also included are a substantial introduction and a wide range of background materials that set the work in the context of its time. These contextual materials include contemporary reviews, excerpts from the plays that Fielding’s parody most frequently targeted, and selections from works that provided inspiration for The Tragedy of Tragedies—from contemporary versions of the “Tom Thumb” folktale to satirical writing by authors such as Alexander Pope, John Gay, and George Villiers.

Excerpt from The Tragedy of Tragedies or the Life and Death of Tom Thumb the Great: With the Annotations of H. Scriblerus Secundus The Tragedy of Tragedies is interesting first of all because it is inspired with the vitality of Fielding's genius, even though that genius had not, at the age of twenty-three and four, broadened and expanded into the maturity and freedom which ten and fifteen years later produced the great novels. The little play has, however, other sources of interest; its long and interesting stage history, and its thoroughgoing burlesque of the heroic play. The business of this present study is the development of these two points. The circumstances under which Fielding wrote, the development from the slight Tom Thumb of 1730 into The Tragedy of Tragedies of 1731, the anonymous interpolation called The Battle of the Poets, and the stage history of the play itself and of its adaptations, occupy the first two chapters of the introduction and the appendices. The nature and the period of the plays burlesqued, and the method with which Fielding worked out a comprehensive burlesque of the heroic play are developed in the third chapter; and the conclusions here drawn are supplemented and enforced in the notes, in which Fielding's allusions and references are checked, and the correspondence between The Tragedy of Tragedies and the plays it assails is established as far as possible by further quotation. Probably the most interesting point in relation to the texts is the development of the version of 1730 into that of 1731.
