Excerpt from University Drama in the Tudor AgeThe present volume is the result of work which, in various ways, has extended over a number of years. In 1903 - 4, while I held the Chair of English Literature in the Queen's College (now the Queen's University), Belfast, I gave as Clark Lecturer in Trinity College, Cambridge, a series of lectures on the English Academic Drama. The delivery of this course within the walls of a great society, which had been one of the chief centres of academic acting, led me to follow the subject further, and to attempt a somewhat detailed study of University Drama in the Tudor age.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
