About the Book

This historic book may have numerous typos, missing text or index. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. 1875. Not illustrated. Excerpt: ... The two chief sources of Shakespeare's obligation in respect to his "Romeo and Juliet," are Arthur Brake's novel, translated from Bandello, and printed in 1562 and 1587, and the story of "Romeus and Julietta," included in Paynter's "Palace of Pleasure," 1566-7. Mr F. V.

It is not likely, however, to have served Shakespeare. MR COLLIER'S INTRODUCTION. The present publication consists of two portions--the one a poem by Arthur Broke, the other a prose narrative by William Paynter. The first purports to be a translation from Bandello; the second is a literal version of a story in Belleforest's "Histoires Tragiques." It will be more convenient to speak of them separately. Only three copies of the earliest edition of the poem by Broke are known; one at Oxford, in Malone's Collection, from which our re-impression has been made, a second in the library of Mr Huth, and another at Cambridge, among Capell's books. The latter is defective in the preliminary matter, wanting the prose address "To the Reader;" so that the only known perfect exemplars are Mr Huth's and that in the Bodleian Library. Our heartiest acknowledgments are due to the Rev. Dr Bandinel f...
