3. STANDARD AND SPECIAL EDITIONS

(Only outstanding works are here mentioned. For more extended bibliography see Cambridge History of English Literature, especially Vols. V and VI.)

The Complete Works of John Lyly, now for the first time collected and edited from the earliest quartos with Life, Biography, Essays, Notes, and Index, by R. Warwick Bond. 3 vols. Oxford. University Press, London, New York, etc., 1902.

The Works of George Peele, edited by A. H. Bullen. 2 vols. Oxford University Press, London, New York, etc., 1888.

The Plays and Poems of Robert Greene, edited by J. Churton Collins. 2 vols. Oxford University Press, London, New York, etc., 1905. The Works of Thomas Kyd, edited from the original texts with introduction, notes, and fac-similes. Oxford University Press, London, New York, etc., 1901.

The Works of Christopher Marlowe, edited by C. E. Tucker Brooke. Oxford University Press, London, New York, etc., 1910.

The Works of Christopher Marlowe, edited by A. H. Bullen. 3 vols. J. C. Nimmo, London, 1885.

The Works of Christopher Marlowe, edited by F. Cunningham. Chatto & Windus, London, 1902.

The Complete Dramatic and Poetic Works of William Shakespeare, edited by William Allan Neilson. Cambridge Edition. Houghton Mifflin Co., Boston, New York, etc., 1906.

The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (the "Oxford Shakespeare”), edited by W. J. Craig. Oxford University Press, London, New York, etc., 1916.

The Works of William Shakespeare, edited by A. H. Bullen (10 vols., limited edition) and issued at The Shakespeare Head Press, Stratford-on-Avon, 1904-7.

The Plays of William Shakespeare. Variorum Edition, edited by H. H. Furness. J. B. Lippincott Co., Philadelphia. (These noteworthy volumes, a monument to American scholarship, began to be issued in 1869, and on the death of the elder Dr. Furness in 1912 the series was continued by his son, H. H. Furness.) The Oxford Shakespeare Apocrypha (being fourteen plays at some time attributed to Shakespeare), edited, with introduction, notes and bibliography, by C. F. Tucker Brooke. Oxford University Press, London, New York, etc., 1908.

The Oxford editions of Lyly, Greene, and Kyd set the standard for recent editing. For the most part the work of men later than Shakespeare has not recently been reviewed and reissued in such excellent form. Very important work is being done, however; note, for instance, The Works of George Chapman, 3 vols., edited chiefly by R. H. Shepherd, Oxford University Press, and The Works of Thomas Middleton, 8 vols., edited by A. H. Bullen, London, 1885-86. About the middle of the last century outstanding was the work of the great editor, Alexander Dyce, who brought out editions of most of the post-Shakespearean dramatists; and, in general, importance attaches to the works of Heywood, Dekker, etc., in Pearson's Reprints, and to Sir Walter Scott's monumental edition of Dryden, 18 vols., Edinburgh, 1808, revised and corrected by Saintsbury, Edinburgh, 1882. Within recent years very special importance has attached to a series of studies and editions of the different plays of Jonson published by the Yale University Press.

Ward, A. W., and Waller, A. R. (General Editors): The Cambridge History of English Literature. 14 vols. G. P. Putnam's Sons, New York, 1907-17. (Vols. V and VI are wholly devoted to the early and Elizabethan drama; special articles are in later volumes.)

Thorndike, Ashley H.: Tragedy. Houghton Mifflin Co., Boston, New York, etc., 1908.

2. WORKS ON SPECIAL PERIODS OR SUBJECTS

(Here more than ever the bibliography must be selective, with emphasis on such books as are most important in connection with a general view of the subject. Within recent years many doctor's theses have been written on special topics. Of these, however, only those are here listed that are mentioned in the footnotes or that otherwise have an interest not too special or technical. It will be observed that for convenience the order is not alphabetical or according to date of publication, but according to the general history of the subject. The list thus begins with the mediaeval drama and closes with that of the present day.)

Chambers, E. K.: The Mediaeval Stage. 2 vols. Oxford University Press, London, New York, etc., 1903.
