Excerpt from The Plays of Nathan Field: Edited From the Original Quartos With Introductions and Notes

A significant figure in Renaissance literary history, the actor-playwright, represented not only by players such as Samuel Rowley and Robert Wilson but also by Heywood, Jonson, and Shakespeare, can be studied to advantage in the comedies of Nathan Field. The plays here presented have been uniformly praised for certain good qualities, are interesting pieces from the point of view of the social as well as that of the literary historian, and seem technically adroit and I think genuinely humorous to the reader of today. As yet they have not been satisfactorily edited.
