used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made

A Jovial Crew, or the Merry Beggars, is a comedy about four noble
lovers who join the beggar community for a pastoral life of dance
and song. Or is it? Whilst maintaining its unremitting good humour,
A Jovial Crew shows that the literary depiction of beggar life, and
real beggar life, are profoundly different. Daily aspects of life
in the beggar world - poverty, dirt, licentiousness - come as a
surprise to the well-born, who are ultimately led to question their
own values. The last production mounted before theatres were closed
for the English Civil War, A Jovial Crew's exploration of class,
commonwealth, kinship and kingship shows an intense engagement with
contemporary politics. This edition, with dedicated sections on
music and language in the play, argues that A Jovial Crew also
offers a nostalgic farewell to English theatre. It explores Brome's
attitude to performance and print, and follows A Jovial Crew from
its first, Caroline staging, to its later manifestations as a
Restoration comedy, an eighteenth-century opera, and a
twentieth-century proto-Marxist tragicomedy.
