The play, which appears to have been written by family member and drama lover John Newdigate III, is thought to be unique to this manuscript. This edition makes the play available in print for the first time. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe Twice Chang'd Friar is an Italianate city comedy based on a tale from Boccaccio's Decameron. It tells the story of Albert, a friar who seduces Lisetta, a beautiful Venetian merchant's wife by persuading her that he is the incarnation of Cupid. Albert's plot is eventually uncovered by Lisetta's brothers, whom he escapes by disguising himself in a bear's skin. The play is a fascinating example of an amateur manuscript drama, of interest to all scholars and students of early modern drama.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Siobhan Keenan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1526113929\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781526113924\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Malone Society\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/01\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 120\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.40h x 7.60w x 0.60d","brand":"Siobhan Keenan","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43985491034367,"sku":"9781526113924","price":66.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_93d3e505-445c-465e-9144-52cb11f75e3b.jpg?v=1683277846","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-twice-changd-friar-siobhan-keenan-9781526113924","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
