A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Editions of the Play. The first edition now known ofT heM erry Devil of Edmonton was published in 1608 ;and as the play was only entered atS tationers Hall in October of the previous year, we may reasonably infer that it had not before been printed. Other editions followed in 1612, 1617, 1626, 1631, and 1655. It was included in Dodsley sO ld Plays, and has been reprinted in the subsequent editions of that collection. It also appeared in Miller sA ncient British Drama (1810). But by far the most scholarly and complete of modern editions is that of Warnke and Proescholdt (H alle, 1884), to whom I am largely indebted. Their edition is exhaustive as to the variations of the text and almost equally good on the bibliographical side of the introduction. The notes are less full. Date of Composition. The first known reference to the play is contained in theB lacke Book by T. M., 1604. This T. M., who is supposed to have beenT homas Middleton, quotes the title, and alludes to the comedy as an amusing one Give him leave to see The Merry Devil of Edmonton, 01 A Woman KilV dwith Kindness. There is no specific internal evidence, for the storming of St Quentin s, alluded to in i. n. 24, is too early to be the basis of an argument. Tieck assigned it to the year 1600 because he believed it to be byS hakespeare, and thought that among Shakespeare splays the one which had most in common with it wasT heM erry Wives of Windsor.
