About this Item

Octavo; hardcover, with gilt spine titles; 667pp. Minor wear; text block top edge dusted. Dustwrapper lightly sunned along the spine panel; now professionally protected by superior non-adhesive polypropylene film. Very good. Postage quoted is for a standard format octavo book. Final charges may vary depending on size and weight. The six dramas by Day which we possess show a delicate fancy and dainty inventiveness all his own. He preserved, in a great measure, the dramatic tradition of John Lyly, and affected a kind of subdued euphuism. The beauty and ingenuity of The Parliament of Bees, the work for which he is most remembered, were noted and warmly extolled by Charles Lamb.
