RARE BOOKS ON DRAMA
VALUJABLE EDITIONS PLACED ON
DISPLAY IN MAIN
CORRIDOR
(By Prof. Morris P. Tilley, Ph. D.)
The chief interest to the student of
the drama in the library exhibit in the
eight cases on the walls of the en-
trance corridor lies in the opportunity
to see copies of rare and valuable
books that are seldom allowed to be
removed from the locked cases in
which they are kept.
Original folio editions of Ben John-
son's "works" and of the plays of
Beaumont and Fletcher, with later
folios of Davenant and of Killegrew
stand side by side with valuable quarto
editions of Dryden, Congreve and
other Restoration dramatists.
Slhakespeare's Predecessors
The first edition of John Lyly's plays
represents the work of Shakespeare'sI
jpredecessors, and a small volume of
John Marston's plays.
Among many valuable works writ-
ton about the dram~a in the 17th cen-
tury is the encyclopedic arraignment
of plays by an extreme Puritan, Will-
iam Prynnne, Histriomastix (1633),
for the publishing of which the author
was imprisoned and condemned to lose
his ears. A
There is in this exhibit an especially
rich representation of Restoration
quartos, including some of the attempts
of the reworkers of Shakespeare to
improve his plays. The failure of
these "improvements" upon Shakes-
peare is well represented by the ver-
sion of King Lear which, to achieve
the desired happy ending, restores Cor- =1IIIIII~lilllllli[1111111t1llltlllllllliit
delia to her happy father.1r
Another interest that the exhibit E
possesses is the careful arrangement HI A IA SI E " mY
