Alphonsus, King of Aragon, is a play by Robert Greene written some time around 1590 and first published after his death in 1599. It is only one of four Robert Greene plays left of which he is indisputably the sole author. The play is considered comical only in the negative sense of having a pleasant ending, and is considered to be an emulation of Marlowe's tragedy Tamburlaine, whilst its fame never rivalled Marlowe's tragedy it certainly sought to rival his work. However, on its own, Alphonsus is a proper history dramatised in chronicle form. This fully transcribed edition has been brought to the public with cost and availability in mind, and is not an photocopied version. | Author: Robert Greene | Publisher: CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform | Publication Date: Jan 18, 2018 | Number of Pages: 68 pages | Language: English | Binding: Paperback | ISBN-10: 1983982032 | ISBN-13: 9781983982033
The Model of Poesy is one of the most exciting literary discoveries of recent years. A manuscript treatise on poetics written in 1599, the end of the most revolutionary decade in English literary history, it includes rich discussions of the works of Sidney, Spenser, Shakespeare, and their contemporaries. Scott's work presents a powerful and coherent theoretical account of all aspect of poetics, from the nature of representation to the rules of versification, with a commitment to relating theory to contemporary practice. For Scott, any theory of literature must make sense not of the classics but of what English writers are doing now: Scott is at the same time the most scholarly and the most relevant of English Renaissance critics. In this groundbreaking edition, Gavin Alexander presents a text of Scott's Model framed by a detailed introduction and an extensive commentary, which together demonstrate the range and value of Scott's thought.
