Description

States that "Epicene" is one of the most widely-studied of Johnson's plays. This book analyzed the play as originally written for the newly formed Children of the Queen's Revels, and performed at the little-known Whitefriars Theatre. It discusses the composition of the play, which took place during a critical period in Jonson's life and career.
