| Summary |
An annotated edition of Joshua Barnes The Academie, or The Cambridge Dunns, with a new essay on the place of Barnes in 17th English Theatre. Swanson examines the bawdy and dark satire of the Cambridge playwright Joshua Barnes whose play savages the university and town. Barnes' annotated version of this play sheds new light on English satire and Barnes as a "university wit," while situating the play's importance by differentiating it from its contemporary rivals in London |
