169118967London: Printed for Jacob Tonson 1691. First edition. Hardcover. Fine. 4to. 14511pp. The half-title is present with its advertisement on the reverse.

H2 was cancelled and a new leaf headed H2v: The EPILOGUE. Spoken by Mrs. Bracegirdle the word FINIS being transferred from H2 to H2v.

Top edge gilt. The text has been bulked out with several pages of blank paper in the rear. A nice copy of the scarce first edition in a fine binding. Dryden's 'King Arthur' owes little to the Arthur of history of romance. The play centers around a battle with Oswald a Saxon leader which Arthur wins. He also wing the faire but blind Emmeline whose sight is restored by Merlin. The play was first performed at the Queen's Theatre with music by Purcell and marks the likely beginning of a rekindling of interest in King Arthur and other things monarchial after their suppression by Cromwell and the Commonwealth.
