George Macfarren

The Songs, Duets, Choruses, &c. in the Devil's Opera ... Third Edition. [By George Macfarren.]

Thomas Preskett Prest

Freshly typeset in readable modern type with the original woodcut illustrations, this two-volume edition presents the full version of what's probably the most influential and notorious "Penny Dreadful" ever published: the one in which London was introduced to Sweeney Todd, the Demon Barber of Fleet-Street, and his pie-selling partner-in-crime, Mrs. Lovett. This edition is lightly footnoted to help the modern reader catch literary and pop-cultural references as well as slang terms that were familiar to 1840s Londoners, but are more obscure today.
