Little-known today, the play represents a pre-Shakespearean example of classical 'borrowing' – a Roman play by Plautus is adapted to an English domestic situation – and it is one of the first instances of confused identity and 'doubles' in English comedy. The text of this edition is taken from the unique original, probably published around 1562, in the collection of the Duke of Devonshire. In his Introduction, W. H. Williams proposes the likely identity of the play's author, and provides an analysis of the play's language to support his claim. He examines the connections in method, characters and language between Jacke Jugeler and Ralph Roister Doister, a play written and performed around the same time.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eIntroduction\u003cbr\u003e Text of the play\u003cbr\u003e Notes\u003cbr\u003e Appendix: Fragment of a later edition\u003cbr\u003e Index to the notes.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Literary studies: general [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Literary studies: general\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Literary%20studies:%20general%20%5BDSB%5D%22\"\u003eDSB\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46265903087896,"sku":"9781108002608","price":21.19,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/products\/9781108002608i_730543d0-4db9-4e0c-8b8a-3de8092eaf2f.jpg?v=1694867115","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/jacke-jugeler-paperback-9781108002608","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
