Artikelbeschreibung des Verkäufers

London: Printed for W. Feales; R. Wellington; C. Corbett; J. Brindley; A. Bettesworth, and F. Clay, 1735, (84) pp; full brown calf with blind-tooled and gilt-ruled covers, and jansenist spine in six compartments; front cover detached and missing; spine dried, and possibly reattached with white tape which extends onto the title page; lacking leaf A1, probably a blank; internally clean, bright and sound. John Banks (died 1706) was an English Restoration playwright. He wrote mainly historical dramas, and his works were twice suppressed for political reasons. Little is known of his early life, other than the fact that he studied law. His first play, The Rival Kings, was staged in 1677, and he continued writing for the theater for the next ten years. However, two plays he wrote in the mid-eighties, The Innocent Usurper (based on the life of Lady Jane Grey), and The Island Queens, or the Death of Mary Queen of Scotland, were deemed too political, and his plays were banned. No other play of his was produced until 1692, when Vertue Rewarded, based on the life of Anne Boleyn, proved quite popular. However, when he tried to follow up this success with a second attempt to stage the Innocent Usurper, his plays were again banned, Cyrus the Great was the last play he wrote. Unusual for his time, Banks wrote his plays in blank verse, rather than the rhymed couplets favored by Dryden and other Restoration playwrights. Size: 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall.…
