The Jealous Wife

The Jealous Wife is a 1761 British play by George Colman the Elder.

[1] Colman was indebted to Henry Fielding's novel Tom Jones as an inspiration for several characters and incidents and is an early example of a dramatisation of a popular novel.

[2] An Advertisement preceding The Jealous Wife in Colman's Dramatick Works of 1777 reveals that he also developed ideas for the play from The Spectator, The Connoisseur and The Adelphi of Terrance.

[3] David Garrick helped Colman to work on the draft and cut down its length.
