Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Study in Shirley´s Comedies of London Life The present study in Shirley´s comedies of London life originally formed the introduction to a complete edition of the play entitled The Ball, a work presented to the Graduate Faculty of the University of Pennsylvania in fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. The entire work was to have appeared shortly as a Bulletin of the University of Texas; and was already in press, when a new edition of The Ball made its appearance in a collection of Chapman´s comedies lately edited by Professor Parrott of Princeton University. In view of a recent and satisfactory edition of The Ball, it hardly seemed advisable to duplicate work on so unimportant a play, and for this reason the text and accompanying notes of the present writer´s edition have been suppressed, and the introductory matter allowed to issue in what must necessarily seem a fragmentary form. It is to be hoped that what is here printed may not seem superfluous. Professor Parrott and I have covered much the same ground in discussing the authorship of the play and have arrived at the same conclusions; my study has been made, however, from the point of view of Shirley rather than from that of Chapman, which is Professor Parrott´s line of approach. The unusual form of the present study, due as above noted to a change of purpose in the course of printing, deserves some brief comment. A few facts are, therefore, given here, in explanation of what may seem a partial and ununified treatment of Shirley and his play The Ball. James Shirley is well known to special students of the Elizabethan drama, and with the increasing study of the literature of his time has become familiar to many general readers. With Massinger he shares the reputation of having left the longest and most creditable list of plays written by one man during the reign of the first Charles.
