Synopsis

This book presents seven Elizabethan plays by Thomas Dekker, whose works, though less well-known than those of his contemporaries (such as Marlowe, Shakespeare, and Jonson), are nevertheless rich in their own originality and merit. Dekker was a prolific playwright and prose writer, whose work often depicted the harsh realities of everyday life, a unique point of view at the time. This anthology includes his most famous comedies, such as The Shoemaker's Holiday, The Honest Whore, and Old Fortunatus, as well as several lesser-known works. These plays are a valuable contribution to our understanding of Elizabethan drama and offer a fascinating glimpse into the life and culture of the period.
