Lost Plays of Shakespeare S a Cb: Lost Plays Shakespeare

by Charles Jasper Sisson

Overview

First published in 1971. In writing this text the author’s intent has been as much to tell stories of life and people in Shakespeare's day as to add to our knowledge of the Elizabethan stage and drama or to record texts rescued from their burial in legal evidences and now submitted to the unforeseen test of literary criticism, which they can scarcely abide with equanimity.
