Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Marshall, William (illustrator). First edition thus; folio; [10], 280, 279-578, 557, [1]pp. In period style nineteenth century full panelled calf (with only the lightest of wear), spine with five raised spine bands, gilt lettered red morocco spine label to second compartment, blind decoration to remaining compartments. Complete with portrait frontispiece. Catalogue of Plays on A4 with early ink page numbers added, short closed tear to leaf 3C1 not affecting text and leaf 3N1 touching a few letters without loss, small burn hole on leaf 3O3 not affecting text, small and mainly marginal wormhole to final few leaves just touching the odd letter, very occasional light spots and stains with unobtrusive feint damp stain to inner margin of final few quires, without 4A4 (blank leaf). Overall a very attractive example. The first collection of Beaumont and Fletcher's plays appeared in 1647; this subsequent 1679 edition contained another 18 plays including The Two Noble Kinsmen, substantial parts of which modern scholarship has concluded to be the work of Shakespeare, with the rest by John Fletcher. (The consensus is that Shakespeare wrote Act I, scenes 1?3; Act II, scene 1; Act III, scene 1; Act V, scene 1, lines 34-173, and scenes 3 and 4). The play was omitted from Shakespeare's First and subsequent folios, was first printed as a quarto in 1634, with its next appearance in this 1679 collection. Splendid well bound copy of this large thick folio. Wing B1582; Gregg III, p. 1018; ESTC R13766.

[Bound with:] Fletcher, John (1579-1625) The Wild-Goose Chase. A Comedie. As it hath been Acted with singular Applause at the Black-Friers. London: Humpherey Moseley, and are to be sold at the Princes Armes in St Pauls Church-yard, 1652 Modeled on the folios of Shakespeare and Ben Jonson, the 1647 "Comedies and Tragedies" comprises all of the hitherto unpublished plays of Beaumont and Fletcher, with the exception of the "Wild-Goose Chase", which did not see print until 1652, as it had long been lost and was supposed to be irrecoverable. [Fortuitously, this copy has that edition bound in.] In total there are 34 plays and one masque. Twelve of these are collaborations between Fletcher and Philip Massinger. Two others (Beggars' Bush and Love's Cure) are the work of Beaumont, Fletcher, and Massinger. Others involved in the writing of these plays include Ben Jonson and John Webster. Among those who provided commendatory verses for the volume are Jonson, Herrick, and Lovelace (the last of whom also added a long poem to the second work.) "We know relatively little of Beaumont and Fletcher's lives, and still less of their collaboration. Like Shakespeare, they became legendary in their lifetimes, and being almost as famous as their older contemporary their legend is almost as misty. The actual concept of collaboration became an essential part of the legend."(Andrew Gurr, 'Philaster') "Even in the seventeenth century the notion of what 'BeaumontandFletcher' denoted was quite hazy. Their first folio of 1647,Comedies and Tragedies written by Francis Beaumont and John Fletcher, Gentlemen, clearly designed to rival the impressive folios ofShakespeareandJonson, contained thirty-four plays and a masque. The implication that all these plays are collaborations byBeaumontandFletcheris vastly misleading. Of the folio plays,Fletcherwrote at least sixteen alone; two or three were done withShakespeare; probably eleven withPhilip Massinger; ten or so with the involvement of as many as eight other writers.Beaumontwrote alone justThe Knightand a masque. Thus only about nine plays of the vast canon were products of the famous collaboration. (Much on this topic is guesswork. The best job of untangling the probably insoluble problems of the canon is a series of articles byCyrus Hoy,'The shares of Fletcher and his collaborators in the Beaumont and Fletcher canon',Studies in Bibliography, 1956-62. See also the definitive edition edited byFredson Bowers,Beaumont and Fletcher, Dramatic Works, 10.751-2, for a tentative list of ascriptions.) "Regarding the division of labour within a play, much on the topic is based on gossip or guesswork. One contemporary maintained thatBeaumont's'maine businesse was to correct the overflowings ofMr. Fletcher'sluxuriant Fancy and flowing witt' (John Earle, quoted inBrief Lives, 21);Robert Herrickstated thatFletcherdesigned the plots (seeH.
