Hardcover. Condición: Very Good. Estado de la sobrecubierta: No Jacket as Issued. 3rd Edition. Third edition by the noted English actor-manager, comedian, playwright and Poet Laureate Colley Cibber (1671-1757). Cibber was a controversial writer whose "plays" were "adapted" from such writers as Moliere and Shakespeare.

An attractive copy. Arnott & Robinson 2558.…
