Excerpt from De Versu Marlovii: Dissertatio PhilologicaNeque enim solum ingenio poetico ceteris poetis scenicis et prioribus et aequalibus longe antcccllebat, verum etiam iambos quinorum pedum non inter se consonantes (blanlwerse) in fabulas introducens viam primus ingressus est, cuius vestigia postea omnes fere poetae secuti sunt. Atque Marlovius primus fuit poeta, qui mysteria embolia (interludes) carmina moralia (moral-plays) usque ad hoc tempus prae ceteris in scena publica acta 'summo studio repulit, et qaum drama ad artis praecepta scriptum et actione praecisa personisque constantibus ornatum intro ducat, fabulis romanticis quoque in scenis regiis et pri vatis actis ingenue opposuit.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
