A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The Diuils Charter was entered in the Stationers Register as follows :i6 octobris 1607 John Wright Entred for his copie vnder the hjandes of Sir George Bucke and The wardens The tragedie of Pope Alexander the Sixt as it was played before his Maiestie. .. .yj (S. R., ed. A rber, iii, 36i.) From the title-page we learn that it was plaide before the Kings Maiestie, vpon Candlemasse night last :this would date the performance, doubtless the first, as Feb. 2,1607 .T here seems to be no record of any other. According to the title-page, the play was reuewed, corrected, and augmented mores the pity ,sa3rs Mr. Fleay before publication. There is nothing to show us in what the changes or augmentations consisted. The date of composition we must suppose, in the absence of any evidence to the contrary, to have been shortly before the first performance. So far as I can discover, there is not in the play itself )M r. Fleay B iog. Chron., i. 3o) gives the date as Feb. 2, 1606, which evidently means 1606-7. Dr. Ward says that it was performed before King James I at Christmas 1606-7, and in October 1607, and was printed in the same year (E ng, Dram. Lii., ii. 627).

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
