Time Left: 0 Seconds |  | | For More Details: Click here | This book, I think, is technically 10 years younger than an antique. It says 'copyright, 1890,1918'.
It was published by the Atheneum Press, Ginn and Company, Boston.
It is 609 pages long.
The notes in the back say that this books affords the best specimens of the dramatic work of each of the five Elizabethan poets
who rank next to Shakespeare and a general view of the development of English drama from its rise in Marlowe to its last
strong expression in Webster. There are well-selected notes accompany each play. 'This book is welcomed and recommended
by professors of English Lit."
The plays are
1. The Jew of Malta by Marlowe
2. The Alchemist by Ben Jonson
3. Philaster by Beaumont and Fletcher
4. The Two Noble Kinsmen by Fletcher and Shakespeare
4. The duchess of Malfi by Webster
The condition of the book is twofold -
Inside it is almost excellent, except for the slight yellowing of age. There are no tears, no writing, no dog-ears, no wrinkles.
The binding is excellent; no tears.
The outside, however, has a bad top and bottom of the spine, bad corners and some use markings along the edges.
Emails welcome.
