1944ess4954New York: The John Day Company 1944. First Edition. Octavo navy blue cloth hardcover gilt letters 94 pp. Very Good with very light speckling to covers; in a Fair dust jacket with edgewear that includes chipping. From dust jacket: This completed version of The Sad Shepherd is a notable addition to the scarse literature of the outdoor theatre and recommends itself alike to dramatic groups seeking material for outdoor performance and to individual readers of such plays as well as to all lovers of Ben Jonson. The skill with which the late Alan Porter completed the script of which Jonson had written little more than half when he died is attested by the.comments made by the New York Herald Tribune critic when the finished comedy was performed in the Vassar outdoor theatre.

Red cloth/boards; gilt lettering. White dj with bw image and red lettering. Mylar cover. xii 557 pp. with bw frontis. The Renaissance court masque traditionally an entertainment of music dancing pageantry and spectacular scenic effects was transformed by Ben Jonson into a serious mode of literary expression. By using its peculiar viability as a forum for his dramatic imagination Jonson resolved and transcended the satiric vision that was in many ways the substance of Jonsonian drama. He instructed as well as applauded his courtly audience and with the aid of the great theatrical designer Inigo Jones brought unity to the diverse elements of the masque infusing them with a moral and poetic life. This modernized version of Jonson's masques is the most carefully edited and annotated text available; it is also the first one-volume edition to be published. It includes the faithful reprinting of Jonson's own glosses and notes translated and annotated as well as explanatory notes which offer the most detailed critical commentary ever undertaken. In the introduction itself an important essay about the Renaissance stage Mr. Orgel discusses Jonson's development of the masque in relation to Inigo Jones' development of the illusionistic stage. - from the flap; from The Yale Ben Jonson series.
