4.0 out of 5 stars Funny. Fascinating. Footnotes., 29 Aug 2000
By A Customer
The plays are funny, and all the more fascinating for the context of their performance; Lyly's use of historical and mythical sources; and - of course - in contrast to Shakespeare.

The texts are clearly annotated, all Latin terms translated, and Lyly's references to other texts noted. Clearly a lot of work has been put into producing this edition.

If there was one disappointment it was the editor's use of the loaded words, 'allegation' and 'guilty love', in the accompanying text (referring to the historical Sappho's 'supposed' Lesbianism). Such phrasing belongs more to the prejudices of Lyly's time than to our own. Having been edited in 1991, this is quite inexcusable.
