(Nachdruck). 36, 260 S. : Illustr. ; 21 cm; Gutes Exemplar. - Englisch. - Within the corpus of seventeenth-century English academic drama, the cycle of works which has been dubbed The Christmas Prince occupies a unique and remarkable position. The first editor of the entire collection, Frederick S. Boas, was quick to note that no other surviving document "lets us so completely behind the scenes of the collegiate theatre, or brings home to us so intimately the hopes and fears, the labours and difficulties, connected with the performances" (The Cambridge History of English Literature, VI, 319) . Boas's observation points to the close relationship between the direction developed during the period of composition by this cycle of college plays and the response of its public. The seventeen parts of this cycle (nine narratives interspersed between eight plays) can be considered the product of a collective authorship. Particular plays have been associated with various individuals: Saturnalia has been attributed to Owen Vertue and John Adler by Frederick S. Boas (The Christmas Prince, p. xi) and Heinz J. Vienken (p. 32, n. 29) and Periander to John Sandsbury by Alfred Harbage. At the same time, the choral passages of Philomathes were inserted by a committee seeking to avoid the reception of the earlier failure of a play within the cycle, Time ' s Complaint. The Christmas Prince represents, therefore, the collaborative compositional efforts of a group of undergraduates in St. John's College, Oxford. The entire collection-with the exception of Periander, which was probably appended to the cycle as an afterthought--is framed by what appears to have been two plays, Ara Fortunae and Ira Fortunae, in which the Prince of the Revels is respectively elected and dethroned. This frame is unique for two reasons: first, because, as Boas notes, it gives dramatic form to the rise and fall of a mock potentate, a figure well known from medieval and Renaissance drama; and second, because it underscores the desire to weld the various dramas into something of a cohesive whole. That Periander was somehow not felt to "belong" to the rest of the collection might be deduced by the codicological aspects of The Christmas Prince ' s transmission. Periander alone has also survived separately from the other works in a manuscript found in the Folger Library (Folger J.a.l) . All the works have been reproduced here from the manuscript in the library of St. John's College, Oxford (MS. 52.1). (S. 5) ISBN 9783487072111 Sprache: Englisch Gewicht in Gramm: 550.…
