History of English Literature Volume 2 (of 3)

Note 60 — BOOK II.—THE RENAISSANCE (Continued) (continued 2)

Henri Van Laun translation

See in Beaumont and Fletcher's "Thierry and Theodoret" the characters of Bawder, Protalyce, and Brunhalt. In "The Custom of the Country," by the same authors, several scenes represent the inside of an infamous house—a frequent thing, by the way, in the dramas of that time; but here the boarders in the house are men. See also their "Rule a Wife and Have a Wife."
