First published in 1930, in Tamburlaine the Great - in Two Parts,
Professor Ellis-Fermor discusses early editions of the work and
considers how far the spelling and punctuation of the 1590 octavo
should be retained in modern editions. The author discusses the
date that the play was written and its authorship and sources. She
then goes on to look at the stage history of Tamburlaine before
presenting the play itself in two parts. Professor Ellis-Fermor
retains the spelling of the majority of proper names. She also
keeps the old stage directions where they occur, as these are, she
says, picturesque and succinct, and there appears no reason to
discard them in favour of the more modern forms used by subsequent
editors. In her appendices, she includes extracts from other
accounts of Tamburlaine and looks at later editions of the work.
