Book Description
Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Book Description
Excerpt from Greene's Arcadia; Or Menaphon: Camilla's Alarum to Slumber Euphues in His Melancholy Cell at Silexedra Greene's Arcadia was first published in 1587, and again 1589, 1599, 1605, 1610, 1616, 1634. The name, scene, and something in the style and construction of the fable, were perhaps suggested by Sir Philip Sydney's celebrated romance, though that work did not appear in print till 1590. Each commences with consulting the oracle at Delphos; whose dark responses are in both fulfilled in an equally improbable manner. To make Sephestia, under the disguised name and character of Samela, at once the object of the amorous attachment of her father, her husband, and her son, each unable to discover the identity of a person so nearly connected with them, is a revolting improbability; which shews the gross and unsettled taste both of the writer and of the age, that could endure, and still more, could even admire, such a fable. This is far different from the skill and moral feeling displayed in the conduct of the incidents of Philomela, where the angelic virtues of a patient, faithful, and beautiful wife, arc drawn in conflict with the blood-thirsty cruelties of a husband inflamed by idle jealousies to madness.

Book Description
Copyright is by no means the only device for asserting ownership of a work. Some writers, including playwrights in the early modern period, did not even view print copyright as the most important of their authorial rights. A rich vein of recent scholarship has examined the interaction between royal monopolies, which have been identified with later notions of intrinsic authorial ownership, and the internal copy registration practices of the English book trades. Yet this dialogue was but one part of a still more complicated conversation in early modern England, James J. Marino argues; other customs and other sets of professional demands were at least as important, most strikingly in the exercise of the performance rights of plays. In Owning William Shakespeare James Marino explores the actors' system of intellectual property as something fundamentally different from the property regimes exercised by the London printers or the royal monopolists. Focusing on Hamlet, The Taming of the Shrew, King Lear, and other works, he demonstrates how Shakespeare's acting company asserted ownership of its plays through intense rewriting combined with progressively insistent attribution to Shakespeare. The familiar versions of these plays were created through ongoing revision in the theater, a process that did not necessarily begin with Shakespeare's original manuscript or end when he died. An ascription by the company of any play to "Shakespeare" did not imply that it was following a fixed, authorial text; rather, Marino writes, it indicates an attempt to maintain exclusive control over a set of open-ended, theatrically revised scripts. Combining theater history, textual studies, and literary theory, Owning William Shakespeare rethinks both the way Shakespeare's plays were created and the way they came to be known as his. It overturns a century of scholarship aimed at re-creating the playwright's lost manuscripts, focusing instead on the way the plays continued to live and grow onstage.
