Description

Originally published in 1929 as part of the Cambridge Plain Texts series, this volume contains Ben Jonson's incomplete play The Sad Shepherd, or A Tale of Robin Hood. The play first appeared in the second volume of Jonson's works in 1641 and the text for this edition was largely based on that version, with some modernisation of spelling and punctuation. A short editorial introduction is also included. This book will be of value to anyone with an interest in Jonson and early-modern drama.
