Specimens of English Dramatic Poets : Who Lived about the Time of Shakespeare

Omtale

Originally published in 1808, this anthology of Elizabethan and Jacobean drama compiled by Charles Lamb (1775–1834) was highly acclaimed. Reissued here is the expanded two-volume edition of 1835. Volume 1 includes extracts from such theatrical hits as Tamburlaine and Volpone, alongside little-known gems by Greville, Peele and Brewer.
