by James Russell Lowell

Overview

Posthumously published in 1892, this volume collects six lectures given by Lowell in 1887.  According to editor Charles Eliot Norton, "The lectures were never revised by Mr. Lowell for publication, but they contain such admirable and interesting criticism . . . that it has seemed to me that they should be given to the public." Included are: “Marlowe,” Webster,” “Chapman,” “Beaumont and Fletcher,” and “Massinger and Ford.”
