Excerpt from Thomas Dekker: Edited, With an Introduction and Notes
In Henslowe's Diary, among the curious items which Alleyn's fellow manager in the Fortune and other theatres set down concerning his transactions in the plays of the time, the name of a certain "Mr. Dickers," will be found under date 8th of January, 1597. In this way, the adventure of Thomas Dekker into the precarious field of dramatic authorship is first recorded for us. The entry refers to some twenty shillings "lent unto Thomas Dowton" to buy a book of Dekker's, no doubt the MS. of some play written by him, the name of which, however, is not given. A week later, a second entry notes again a disbursement, this time of four pounds, also for a book of his "called Fayeton " (Phaeton), possibly a further part of the same work.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book presents seven Elizabethan plays by Thomas Dekker, whose works, though less well-known than those of his contemporaries (such as Marlowe, Shakespeare, and Jonson), are nevertheless rich in their own originality and merit. Dekker was a prolific playwright and prose writer, whose work often depicted the harsh realities of everyday life, a unique point of view at the time. This anthology includes his most famous comedies, such as The Shoemaker's Holiday, The Honest Whore, and Old Fortunatus, as well as several lesser-known works. These plays are a valuable contribution to our understanding of Elizabethan drama and offer a fascinating glimpse into the life and culture of the period.
