This volume, 'Four Old Plays,' presents a carefully curated selection of dramatic works from the English Renaissance. It includes three interludes: 'Thersytes,' 'Jack Jugler,' and John Heywood’s 'Pardoner and Frere.' These short, often comedic, plays offer a fascinating glimpse into the popular entertainment of the period. Also featured is 'Jocasta,' a tragedy by Gascoigne and Kinwelmarsh, providing a contrasting example of the more serious dramatic forms prevalent at the time.With a detailed introduction and comprehensive notes, this collection is an invaluable resource for students and scholars of English literature, offering insights into the theatrical landscape and literary tastes of the 16th century. The interludes showcase the wit and social commentary characteristic of early English drama, while 'Jocasta' exemplifies the influence of classical tragedy on Renaissance playwrights. 'Four Old Plays' makes these historically significant works accessible to a modern audience.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

Blood in the battle for racial equality is no surprise, but f...

    Georges Feydeau / Laurence Senelick
       “It seems to me that for fertility in droll inventions, the perpetual outpouring of unforeseen misunderstandings, for the inexhaustible gaiety of dialogue, Feydeau’s new play is superior to everything he’s written so far. The most astonishing thing is the sureness with which everything is controlled, explained, justified, in the most extravagant buffoonery. The cross-purpose...

A queen, I mean, and not just of the self-dramatizing type. Scratch that. She’s more than a queen. She’s a pharaoh, one Hatshepsut, who reigned over Egypt ...

    While in many university courses attention is given to the human side, as opposed to the technical side of engineering, it is by and large an afterthought.

Several studies show that engineering is a community activity of professionals in which communication is central to the engineering task. Increasingly, tec...
