Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Works of Thomas Kyd: Edited From the Original Texts; With Introduction, Notes, and Facsimiles This attempt to issue, for the first time, an edition of Thomas Kyd´s extant works, so far as they can be identified, will, I believe, need no lengthy justification. In the study of pre-Shakespearean literature, during the closing years of the past century, there has been no more marked feature, especially on the Continent, than the increased prominence given to Kyd. The growing realization of the unique popularity and influence of The Spanish Tragedie during the period between the defeat of the Armada and the outbreak of the Civil War, and the equally growing conviction that Kyd was a forerunner of Shakespeare in dramatizing the story of Hamlet, have combined to arouse the keenest interest in his personality and his writings. As the final section of my Introduction shows, monographs on different aspects of his career have, especially during the last dozen years, followed fast upon one another. But hitherto the study of Kyd has been hampered by the lack of a complete and trustworthy text of his works. The best available substitute has been vol. v of Mr. Carew Hazlitts edition of Dodsley´s Old Plays, which contains The Spanish Tragedie, Cornelia, and Soliman and Perseda, preceded at the close of vol. iv by the anonymous First Part of Ieronimo. The volumes have been of much service to all students of Kyd; but texts with modernized spelling, and based upon an imperfect collation of the original Quartos, cannot satisfy the requirements of present-day scholarship. I have therefore, for the present work, collated in every case all the extant texts, and reproduced the original spelling.
