About this title

Synopsis

A Select Collection of Old English Plays, originally published by Robert Dodsley in 1744, features a diverse anthology of English dramas compiled from earlier 18th- and 19th-century texts. This edition presents a selection of didactic medieval and early modern plays, complete with scholarly apparatus including introductory notes, prefatory remarks by Hawkins and Halliwell, and textual notes and variants. The collection includes the moral interludes Interlude of Youth and Lusty Juventus, the comic Jack Juggler, the cautionary Nice Wanton, as well as the histories History of Jacob and Esau, The Disobedient Child, and The Marriage of Wit and Science. These works explore themes of virtue, vice, charity, and the perils of youth, featuring allegorical figures such as Charity, Knowledge, and Hypocrisy. Hazlitt’s edition thoughtfully arranges and annotates the material to shed light on early English drama and the social attitudes of the time.
