Beschreibung

This edition is extremely rare, no others on-line. 15x9 cm, 646 pages, half leather with red coloured fore edges. Robert Garnier, 1545-1590 was a French poet and playwright. His plays are considered the pinnacle of French tragedy during the Renaissance. Strongly marked with echoes of the Wars of Religion, these works exerted a great influence in their time, particularly in the English Renaissance theatre. He was wildly popular in France and It is possible that William Shakespeare read some of his works. Especially his Mark Anthony, published in 1578 and had the honour of being translated by the Countess of Pembroke, Sir Philip Sidney's sister, in 1592. Its date renders it possible that it may have been read by Shakespeare who took inspiration for the figure of Cleopatra. With one armorial English ex libris. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 08989895
