Book Description

Excerpt from An Edition of Philip Massinger's Duke of Milan: A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of Princeton University in Candidacy for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy In the preparation of this work, I have received much kindly aid. Professor Felix E. Schelling secured me the loan of the first quarto of The Duke of Milan owned by the University of Pennsylvania. Professor Charles W. Kennedy of Princeton looked up some information for me in England. Mr. R. B. McKerrow went to much unavailing trouble to secure for me the corrections by Massinger in the Foljambe quarto. Mr. Walter R. Cottrell of the Princeton University Library was always assiduous and kindly in helping me secure needed materials. Mr. Lacy Lockert, my fellow student, was a constant source of suggestion to me. My readers, Professors Parrott and Spaeth, gave me much valuable criticism. To Professor Parrott especially, under whom this work was done, I owe warmest thanks for the careful training that made much of the work possible and for unstinted criticism and suggestion at all stages.
