George Charles Moore Smith (1858-1940) was a renowned literary
scholar who graduated from St John's College, Cambridge, with a
first-class degree in the classics in 1881. In 1896 he was made
professor of English language and literature at Firth College,
Sheffield, and he played a key role in building up the social and
academic position of the institution after it became the University
of Sheffield in 1905. College Plays Performed in the University of
Cambridge (1923) includes a chronological table of the Latin plays
performed by scholars at the university in the sixteenth and
seventeenth centuries. The study also contains Moore Smith's
48-page introduction along with an appendix of actor lists. The
introduction provides useful context to sixteenth- and
seventeenth-century literary and theatrical culture at the
University of Cambridge, discussing both the 'outlines of [the
plays] histories' and the 'manner of [their] production'.
Originally written and staged in the late sixteenth century, Club
Law was published for the first time more than three centuries
later. A colourful satire, the play captures the spirit of a bygone
era. Club Law playfully reconstructs the heated debate between the
University 'Accademicks' and the town council, who were viciously
at odds. Though characters' names had been changed, the play was so
true to life in its depiction of contemporary politics that much
uproar followed its performance at Clare Hall (now Clare College),
Cambridge about 1599. Found titleless and missing some pages and
scenes, the play was pieced back together by G. C. Moore Smith in
1907. A detailed introduction outlines the play's setting and
historical context, and draws parallels between this satirical
Elizabethan play and contemporary society. Comprehensive notes and
an index are also included.
