Mrs. Millwood is beautiful; intelligent; and ambitious; but London gives her no means of support except to seduce men. Love for her leads eighteen-year-old Barnwell to deceit; theft; and murder."What are your laws;" Mrs. Millwood asks; "but the foolrsquo;s wisdom and the cowardrsquo;s valor; the instrument and screen of all your villainies by which you punish in others what you act out yourselves; had you been in their circumstances? The judge who condemns the poor man for being a thief had been a thief himself; had he been poor. Thus you go on deceiving and being deceived; harassing; plaguing; and destroying one another; but women are your universal prey."First performed in 1731; The London Merchant became on of the most popular plays of the century. A chronicler of the age; Theophilus Cibber called it "almost a new species of tragedy."
