Mother Bombie (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781849022156)

First performed circa 1590, 'Mother Bombie' is unique among Lyly's comedies in its urban setting and focus upon middle and lower class concerns. Structured upon a Roman new comedy model, the play turns on the tissue of misconceptions surrounding the efforts of four fathers to secure socially advantageous marriages for their heirs.
