ANTHONY MUNDAY: THE ENGLISH ROMAN LIFE

First edition. Publisher's original navy blue cloth with gilt titles to the spine, in dustwrapper. Illustrated with three black and white plates throughout. A near fine copy, the binding square and firm, with a touch of rubbing to the extremities. The contents, with a small spot to the inner hinge, are clean throughout, and without previous owners' inscriptions or stamps. Complete with the very good lightly rubbed and nicked, price-clipped dustwrapper which has a couple of scratched to the rear panel and some fading to the spine.

Dr. Philip Ayres, Senior Lecturer in English at Monash University in Australia, deftly introduces, edits and provides commentary notes for this accessible and authoritative edition of Anthony Munday's 'The English Roman Life' (1582).
