Opis: George Chapman Edited - Phelps William Lyon

Excerpt from George Chapman Edited: With an Introduction and Notes

The text of this edition has been carefully taken from the literal reprint of Chapman's plays, published by John Pearson in 1873. The spelling has been modernised, and the punctuation altered to fit the sense; here I have been helped by R. H. Shepheid's edition, though I have often found it advisable to differ from that. I have had to insert many stage directions, to account for the presence and absence of characters; and for three plays I have had to make lists of the dramatis persona.

It was not altogether easy to select "best plays" of Chapman for publication, but I finally decided on All Fools as his best comedy, the D'Ambois plays as most characteristic, and the Byron series as the best examples of "that full and heightened style" which Webster admired. It is hoped that this edition of Chapman, containing the only comfortably readable text, will be found useful not merely in University courses, but for general purposes.
