Ben Jonson's Sad Shepherd

Ben Jonson's Sad Shepherd is a play that was left unfinished by the author and was completed by Thomas Waldron. The play is set in rural England and follows the story of a shepherd named Robin who is searching for his lost love, Daphne. Along the way, he encounters various characters, including a group of fairies, a witch, and a group of shepherds who are also searching for lost loves. The play explores themes of love, loss, and the power of nature. Waldron's continuation 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, providing readers with a complete understanding of the story.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
