The original English text

An adaptation of Henry Fielding's novel Tom Jones, it was first performed at the Drury Lane Theatre in 1761.

The play was later translated and adapted into a number of languages, including French, German and Dutch.

The German version entitled Die Eifersüchtige Frau was done by August von Kotzebue (1761-1819) and subtitled "ein Lustspiel in zwei Acten nach dem Englischen". Published in 1820.
