About This Item
1642; Oxford, The Malone Society Reprints, 1989. Hard Cover. xiv, 75 p., 4 facsimiles on 2 leaves; 22 cm. "Its detailed scene directions indicate the author's keen interest in the theatrical (occasionally macabre) possibilities of late Caroline drama. It is written in the popular mode, with signs of influence from contemporary dramatists and perhaps from the political crisis immediately before the Civil War." "The romantic and courteous atmosphere of the Corsican court, as it appears to the stranger Calidor in the opening scene, is soon shown to conceal uneasiness and the possibility of dark secrets..." "This edition of The Queen of Corsica was prepared by Henry D. Janzen and checked by H. R. Woudhuysen" from British Library manuscript Lansdowne 807: "The Queene of Corsica. A Tragedy. Written By Fran. Jaques, Anno dom 1642." Linen spine; VG, gift quality. Stock#25034.
