    Description

    Illustrated, Leather Binding

    A sammelband of five plays by Nicholas Rowe bound in one.

    Rowe was a noted dramatist, and is generally considered to be the first editor of the works of Shakespeare.

    He started his dramatic career in 1700 with the publication and production of 'The Ambitious Stepmother', produced at Lincoln's Inn Fields. His dramatic career flourished over the next two decades before his death in 1718.

    This volume contains: 'Tamerlane', 'The Fair Penitent', 'Ulysses', 'The Tragedy of Jane Shore', and 'The Royal Convert'.

    Illustrated with a frontispiece to 'The Fair Penitent', 'Ulysses', 'The Tragedy of Jane Shore', and 'The Royal Convert'. Bound without the frontispiece to 'Tamerlane'. 

    Two pages of adverts to the rear of 'The Tragedy of Jane Shore'.
