George Chapman is known today as a translator of Homer and as the
author of dark tragedies such as Bussy D'Ambois. An Humorous Day's
Mirth was one of the most popular plays of the Elizabethan era. Not
only was it the Rose Theatre's greatest box-office success of 1597,
it also presented an entirely new type of comedy, one that has
profoundly influenced comic writing up to the present day. This
play is the English theatre's first 'comedy of humours', in which
the attitudes, behaviour, and social pretensions of contemporary
men and women are satirised. Charles Edelman's is the first fully
annotated, modern spelling edition of this long-neglected play. In
his extensive introduction and commentary, Edelman discusses the
intellectual, philosophical and theatrical background, and shows
that the play would delight the readers and audiences of today as
much as those in 1597. -- .
