Books in the The Dramatic Works of Thomas Dekker 8 Volume Paperback Set series

Originally published in 1953, this was the first edition of Dekker's plays to appear in print since the late nineteenth century. Thus, for many years prior, Dekker had been the least accessible of the prominent Elizabethan dramatists, with the result that his anthologized plays had received undue attention at the expense of other highly readable works of the second rank.

The final volume of the Cambridge Dekker contains The Welsh Ambassador, The Noble Spanish Soldier, Lust's Dominion, The Sun's Darling, London's Tempe and Britannia's Honour. Professor Bowers's edition is recognized as a model critical old-spelling text.
