The task of the new contributors has been to revise and integrate the lists of 1940 and 1957, to add materials of the following decade, to correct and refine the bibliographical details already available, and to re-shape the whole according to a new series of conventions devised to give greater clarity and consistency to the entries.

Book Description
Excerpt from A History of English Dramatic Literature, Vol. 2: To the Death of Queen Anne Chapman's return to the stage led to one of the most remarkable incidents (already adverted to 2) in his life and in the annals of the stage. For certain passages in the comedy of Eastward Hoe which he had written con jointly with Marston and Jonson (though Jonson had no share in the passages objected to), be and Marston were im prisoned and Jonson voluntarily joined them in their con finement. The release of the poets was 'doubtless in part attributable to the favour which Chapman seems to have enjoyed with the Court. Of his gratitude or loyalty he subsequently gave more than one sign. In 1612 he pro duced a mask for the marriage of the Princess Elisabeth; while to her brother he, as has been seen, dedicated his [liada He had other patrons of high rank, to one of whom (somerset) he remained faithful even in the disgrace which overtook that reckless adventurer. But there is no reason to suspect Chapman of undue morigeration to the great. On the contrary, several passages in his plays attest a candour and an uprightness on questions lying at the root of the politics of his times which do honour to his character as well as his intellect. On a subsequent occasion he seems to have given offence to the French ambassador by a scene introduced into his play of Byron's Conspiracy but in this case the offence is said to have con sisted in bringing the Queen of France on the stage and representing her in no very pleasing light 3. The perform ance was prohibited, but repeated as soon as the Court had quitted London. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
