Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 2003 Fairleigh Dickinson University Press hardcover edition. Light reading wear else very good condition. Volume 15 offers articles devoted to the historical contexts for drama in sixteenth-century England. One of these is a substantial discussion of prostitution in Elizabethan London, based on archival research. Another piece is focused on the efforts of the Chamberlain's Men to satisfy the tastes of their audiences for political and other topical issues of the day. The volume also contains essays on genre and rhetoric in early modern plays, and on the convention for representing character types on the Renaissance stage (with special reference to the figures of the crone and of the city wife). Further essays concentrate on dramatic authorship, and the publication and printing of plays, and on the connections between Mankind and the fifteenth-century controversy over preaching. The final article is given over to the texts and contexts of newly discovered songs by Aurelian Townshend, intended for an unrecorded 1630s masque by the Merchant Adventurers. An international board of leading scholars and cultural historians maintains the quality of each annual volume so Medieval and Renaissance Drama in England can be relied on as a useful guide and source for all students of the drama of this period - for directors, teachers, and actors as well as for specialists in college and university study. Readers who wish to deepen their understanding of this drama will find in each volume wide-ranging discussions of topics such as music, politics, philosophy, painting, and the questions of material culture, as these matters apply to the interpretation of drama as cultural production before 1642.

Cloth Boards. 1st Edition. First edition. Royal octavo, original red cloth boards with title and a vignette decoration stamped in gilt to upper board, title in gilt to spine with small gilt decoration foot of spine, frontis portrait plate of the author (with tissue guard), folding colour map showing Voss's voyages, colour map of Cocos Island, b&w plates (including photographs of the "Xora", the "Tilikum" and the "Sea Queen" under sail), pp 394. Signed to the front free endpaper, "From the author, J.C. Voss, at sea, June 28th 1914". Some fraying to the head and foot of the spine. Very good condition. Scarce thus, both as the first edition and for the signature. John Voss (1858 - 1922) was a German-Canadian sailor, best known for sailing around the world in a modified dug-out canoe he bought in Vancouver Island (along with a human skull) and named "Tilikum" ("person" or "people" in Chinook Jargon). "The saga of Capt. J. C. Voss still is unparalleled. Between 1901-1904, he sailed nearly around the world in a rebuilt Native American dugout canoe, making a voyage of 40,000 miles. He established a small-boat record in sail never approached since then." (Saltwater People Historical Society). "Venturesome Voyages" describes his various adventures, mainly in the "Tilikum": the final chapter describes sailing the "Sea Queen" (a 25 foot yawl from Yokohama) in a typhoon. For some years Voss was believed to have been lost at sea after he sailed away again from Yokohama in the "Sea Queen" in June 1913: had this signature, "at sea" in 1914, been seen there would have been less surprise when he turned up in California. A unique copy of this first edition, which is in itself scarce.…
