Ben Jonson's Sad Shepherd

Ben Jonson's Sad Shepherd is a play that was left unfinished by the author, and it was later completed by Thomas Waldron. The play is set in the countryside of England and follows the story of a shepherd named Robin who is searching for his lost love, Marian. Along the way, he encounters various characters such as fairies, witches, and other shepherds. The play explores themes of love, loss, and the supernatural. Waldron's continuation of the play picks up where Jonson left off and provides a satisfying conclusion to the story. This edition of the play includes both Jonson's original text and Waldron's continuation, making it a valuable resource for scholars and students of English literature.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
