The Story of Elizabethan Drama
George Bagshawe Harrison (1894-1991) was a renowned scholar and critic who produced many books on Elizabethan and Jacobean literature. In this volume, originally published in 1924, Harrison provides a concise introduction to the development of Elizabethan drama. The text contains information on key figures and their contributions, together with analysis in a broader cultural context. Observations are reinforced by abundant quotation from plays, together with carefully selected illustrative material. This is a highly readable book that will be of value to anyone with an interest in dramatic criticism and the Elizabethan period.

Elizabethan and Jacobean Journals
This set provides a detailed and intimate account of the Elizabethan and Jacobean World picture. The volumes vividly convey life as it was in the days of Shakespeare; King James; the first voyage to the West Indies; the Great Plague of 1603; the Gunpowder Plot; the Civil War, and the first impact of Galileo's discoveries. In compiling these volumes, G.B. Harrison undertook a massive trawl of original sources of British social and political history of the period. Each journal contains a chronology of key events of the period, unfolding as they would for contemporaries. This rare panorama of one of England's most colourful periods in history provides an essential background for enlightened reading of Elizabethan and Jacobean literature, offering as it does, crucial insights into influences affecting the literature and attitudes of the time.
