Lillo revived the genre of play referred to as domestic tragedy (or bourgeois tragedy).[9] Even though the Jacobean stage had flirted with merchant and artisan plays in the past (with, for example, Thomas Dekker and Thomas Heywood), The London Merchant was a significant change in theatre, and in tragedy in particular.[6] Instead of dealing with heroes from classical literature or the Bible, presented with spectacle and grand stage effects, his subjects concerned everyday people, such as his audience, the theater-going middle classes, and his tragedies were conducted on the intimate scale of households, rather than kingdoms.[6][7][10] ^ a b c d e f g Steffensen, James L., "Lillo, George (1691/1693–1739)", Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, Oxford University Press, 2004; online edition, May 2008, accessed 9 December 2011 ("You do not currently have access to this article"; Archived site) The Works of Mr. George Lillo, With Some Accounts of His Life. ^ "George Lillo."
