The Elizabethan dramatist Thomas Dekker was a versatile and prolific writer, whose career spanned several decades and brought him into contact with many of the period's most famous dramatists. Of the surviving plays that are entirely Dekker's work, the best-known are 'The Shoemakers Holiday' (1600) and 'The Honest Whore, Part 2' (1630), which are typical of his work in their use of the moralistic tone of traditional drama. His ear for colloquial speech served him well in his vibrant portrayals of daily life in London and his works are characterised for their boisterousness nature and an inimitable mixture of realistic detail and romanticised plot. Dekker was also a writer of pamphlets, celebrated for their lively depictions of London life, vividly charting the city's traumatic times. For the first time in publishing history, this eBook presents Dekker's complete dramatic works, with numerous illustrations, rare plays and masques, informative introductions and the usual Delphi bonus material.
