Daniel Press Webster John (3 results)

ÒA remarkable volume, in which the finer part of an old play is separated from the coarser under-plot, and printed by itself under a new title. In 1874 Mr. Edmund Gosse publicly suggested that a play by John Webster (d. about 1625) and William Rowley (d. about 1642) entitled A Cure for a Cuckold, and first printed in 1661, could be Ôconfidently and yet not rashly divided in detail between its two parentsĠ; and WebsterĠs Ôstately comedyĠ here stands undebased by RowleyĠs Ôcoarse and boisterous little farceĠ. Gosse also chose the new title, suggested by an expression on p. 2, and writes an interesting and solid preface. Mr. Spring-Rice edits the play from the text of Dyce, but adds no notes or commentary in detail. The book is reviewed in the Atheneum, October 10, 1885, p. 479: the writer praises the typography of this Ôcharming volumeĠ and testifies to the renown of the Daniel Press, even at this early date, but is very critical about the authorship of the double play and its divisionÓ (Daniel Press Bibliography, p. 97). [4], ix, [3], 69, [3] pp. Decorative woodcut borders and publisherĠs device. Prefatory note by Edmund Gosse. Quarter vellum over blue paper boards, gilt spine. Some light browning to spine and boards, edges lightly foxed, but a remarkably good, clean copy. Presentation copy from Edmund Gosse, inscribed on the front free endpaper: ÒMrs. Bessie Waterhouse with Uncle GosseĠs duty.Ó One of 150 copies. Presentation copy, inscribed by the editor to a niece.
