Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The School of Shakspere, Vol. 1 of 2: Including 'the Life and Death of Captain Thomas Stukeley, ' With a New Life of Stucley, From Unpublished Sources; 'Nobody and Somebody;' 'Histrio-Mastix;' 'The Prodigal Son;' 'Jack Drum's Entertainement;' 'A Warning for Fair Women;' With Reprints of the Ac
For other reasons the long Biography of Stucley will be found valuable - First, as giving much information on the Irish Catholic plots of rebellion against Elizabeth, with their interweaving of spanish-papal projects for invading Elizabeth's dominions; and, secondly, as showing how much the buccaneering of the early days of Elizabeth was countenanced by, and interwoven with, the political exigencies of the time, and how even more countenanced and liked it was by the time's populace. The information as to the Irish Catholic intrigues will be found to be in no small degree sup plementary to Mr Simpson's Life of Oampion and other similar works.
