Five Old Plays: Forming A Supplement To The Collections Of Dodsley And Others (1833)

""Five Old Plays: Forming A Supplement To The Collections Of Dodsley And Others"" is a book compiled by J. Payne Collier in 1833. It is a collection of five plays that were written during the 16th and 17th centuries, which were not previously included in the popular collections of plays by Dodsley and other authors. The plays included in this book are ""The Misfortunes of Arthur"" by Thomas Hughes, ""The Marriage of Wit and Science"" by John Redford, ""The Trial of Treasure"" by Anonymous, ""A Knack to Know a Knave"" by Robert Greene, and ""The Three Ladies of London"" by Robert Wilson. The plays are written in the style of Elizabethan and Jacobean drama, and they offer a unique perspective on the cultural and social issues of the time. The book is a valuable resource for scholars and enthusiasts of early modern drama, as it provides an opportunity to explore lesser-known works from this period of English literature.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
