Description

Here in one convenient volume are the two versions of the same story that Susan Glaspell wrote. 'Trifles', her first play, was performed and published in 1916; the following year, Glaspell wrote 'A Jury of Her Peers as a short story version of the same story in order to reach a wider audience. Both texts are early feminist masterpieces, and with this edition readers can read both versions of this classic story which challenges male prejudice.
