Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

This compact 1942 volume by Greene covers British playwrights from John Bale in the 1500s to Shakespeare to Tennyson on up to Noel Coward. Though the information is brief, this title could still serve as a concise introduction to the subject for those not needing an in-depth treatment.
