Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Glasse of Governement the Princely Pleasures at Kenelworth Castle the Settle Glas: And Other Poems and Prose Works This volume completes the present issue of Gascoigne´s known writings, and includes some pamphlets which have been almost inaccessible. The text was set up, in part from original quartos in the Cambridge University Library, but mainly from photographs of printed pamphlets and manuscripts in the British Museum and the Bodleian Library, of which particulars are given in the Appendix. The editor is indebted to the kind offices of Mr R. E. Graves for permission to photograph the unique examples at Britwell Court of A delicate Diet, for daintiemouthde Droonkardes and of the dedication of The Glasse of Government. The first edition has been followed in every case, except in that of The Princely Pleasures at Kenelworth Castle, which is reprinted from the text of 1587, the only copy of the original issue of 1576 having apparently perished in the fire at the Birmingham Free Library in January, 1879. Differences between the original and the 1587 text are, however, given in the Appendix as they appear in a reprint published in 1821. Thanks are also due to Mr A. W. Pollard for his generous help in tracing the whereabouts of a unique quarto - The Queenes Majesties entertainment at Woodstocke - in which Gascoigne was supposed to have had a hand. Gascoigne´s authorship of the little ´comedy´ presented to the Queen on that occasion is exceedingly doubtful, and it has not been included in the present reprint, though the variants of the version of the tale of Hemetes the Hermit on which it is founded, from that later presented to the Queen by Gascoigne in four languages, are duly noted in Appendix I.
