Excerpt from The Dramatic and Poetical Works of Robert Greene George Peele: With Memoirs of the Authors and Notes by the Rev. Alexander Dyce
At that period I had the honour of occasionally corresponding with Sir Walter and in his Life by Lockhart (vol. Vii. P. 272) is a letter addressed to me which shows that he intended to make my editions of Greene, Webster, &c., the subject of an article for the Quarterly Review; but his kind intentions were frustrated by the fatal malady from which he vainly sought relief in a foreign land.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the life and writings of Robert Greene, an English Renaissance writer known for his prolific output and influence on Elizabethan drama. Greene's infamous reputation as a libertine and his firsthand observations of the era's excesses provide a unique lens through which to examine the social and literary landscape of the time. The author explores Greene's complex character, drawing on his autobiographical works and fictional narratives to illuminate his struggles with morality, financial ruin, and the allure of the bohemian lifestyle. From his early years as a student at Cambridge to his success as a playwright and novelist, Greene's journey serves as a cautionary tale about the perils of ambition, the power of love, and the consequences of unchecked desires. The book offers a comprehensive analysis of Greene's works, examining his literary techniques, thematic concerns, and the ways in which his writings both reflected and shaped the cultural milieu of his time. Through a close reading of Greene's plays, pamphlets, and prose, the author sheds light on his contributions to the development of English drama and his enduring legacy as a writer who dared to explore the darker recesses of the human heart.
