The collection includes a variety of works that span different genres, from comedies and tragedies to historical plays, providing insight into the evolution of English drama. The plays are often characterized by their intricate language, dramatic conventions, and exploration of themes like love, power, morality, and social class. Bullen's anthology serves as an important resource for scholars and theater enthusiasts interested in the history of English drama and the works of lesser-known playwrights of the time.Each play in the collection is accompanied by Bullen’s editorial notes, which often provide historical context, explanations of references, and clarifications of archaic language. This makes the volume an important reference for anyone studying early English drama and the development of theatrical traditions in the English-speaking world.
