Item Details
Description
The Works of Beaumont and Fletcher London: George Routledge and Sons; 1866 two volumes, complete bound in full tree calf leather, cover with gilt borders, spines with gilt lettering and decoration, morocco spine labels, marbled endpapers, gilt edge Size 6.5 by 9.5" 645 and 720 pages, plus table of content Excellent condition except minor wear of the binding and dampstain on the first 2 leaves of Vol. I Beaumont and Fletcher were the English dramatists Francis Beaumont and John Fletcher, who collaborated in their writing during the reign of James I (1603–25). They became known as a team early in their association, so much so that their joined names were applied to the total canon of Fletcher, including his solo works and the plays he composed with various other collaborators including Philip Massinger and Nathan Field. The first Beaumont and Fletcher folio of 1647 contained 35 plays; 53 plays were included in the second folio in 1679. Other works bring the total plays in the canon to about 55. While scholars and critics will probably never render a unanimous verdict on the authorship of all these plays—especially given the difficulties of some of the individual cases—contemporary scholarship has arrived at a corpus of about 12 to 15 plays that are the work of both men. (See the individual pages on Beaumont and Fletcher for more details.)
