Seller's Description:
Very Good. A Swedish doctoral dissertation, this is a critical study, in English, of five plays from different periods on the subject of King John: John Bayle's King Johan (c. 1538); the anonymous The Troublesome Reign of King John (c. 1590); Shakespeare's King John (c. 1595); and two adaptations of this play, Colley Cibber's Papal Tyranny in the Reign of King John, first performed in 1745 and written about 20 years earlier, and Richard Valpy's King John (1800); the focus of this study is on why the reign of King John has been such a continually interesting subject in very different historical periods, and whether the plays have any value as historical illustrations of the times they were written; includes a separate announcement of a public discussion of the dissertation (plain light gray cover with black & red lettering; very slight edgewear, otherwise a good, clean, tight copy)
