The Dramatic Works of Thomas Dekker by Thomas Dekker

gillothen's review against another edition

Go to review page

Specifically: "If This Be Not A Good Play, the Devil Is In It"; not this edition.

Utterly bonkers, clearly an influence on Jonson's The Devil is an Ass, but I think it's more fun. Huge cast of rambunctious characters, including a bunch of demons. Very funny in places, but some moving moments. I prefer Dekker to Jonson.

Read as part of the Shakespeare Institute's 2019 Readathon: #Websterthon.
