Robert Greene: Six Plays

by Robert Greene from c. 1590s

About

Robert Greene was one of Shakespeare's most direct contemporaries and rivals — his famous 1592 deathbed attack on Shakespeare as 'an upstart crow beautified with our feathers' is one of literary history's memorable complaints. This collection of his plays, including Friar Bacon and Friar Bungay and James the Fourth, shows the Elizabethan romantic tradition from which Shakespeare emerged: plays mixing comic plots, pastoral settings, and magical elements in ways that directly anticipate A Midsummer Night's Dream and The Winter's Tale. Greene's work has historical importance as the immediate dramatic context in which Shakespeare developed.
