Magical Tome

The outer archives are busy
A Caroline-era stage play first published in 1652, this comedy is about four noble lovers who join the beggar community for a pastoral life of song and dance, only to find that that the reality of vagabond life is quite different from its literary depiction. This edition includes critical commentary as well as appendixes on the play's six songs, and on rogue literature and cant.
