THE LADY OF PLEASURE The Lady of Pleasure was published in quarto in 1637, and the present text is based on a copy of this edition in the Harvard Library. The play, a good example of Shirley's comedy of manners, was produced in 1635. No source has been discovered for the plot. Like Fletcher's Wild-Goose Chase, this type of Shirley's comedies is important in measuring the approach made toward the Restoration comedy before the Puritan Revolution. THE CARDINAL This tragedy, regarded by Shirley as his greatest play, and in fact no unworthy piece to close a volume representing the drama of that age, appeared in a volume of Six New Plays in 1653, the date on the title-page of The Cardinal being 1652. On a copy of this octavo in the Harvard Library the present text is based. The play was acted in 1641, and thus belongs to the last few months before the theatres were closed by the Long Parliament. It is probable that Webster's Duchess of Malfi afforded more than a suggestion for the plot, but otherwise no source has been found. The play was popular both on its first appearance and when it was revived after the Restoration. BIBLIOGRAPHIES GENERAL WORKS ON THE ELIZABETHAN DRAMA REGISTER OF THE STATIONERS' COMPANY, 1554-1640.
