To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Unlike most of the Elizabethan dramatists, they both came from noble and cultured families and were universitytrained. Their work, in strong contrast with Jonson's, is intenselyromantic, and in it all, however coarse or brutal the scene, there isstill, as Emerson pointed out, the subtle "recognition of gentility. " Beaumont (1584-1616) was the brother of Sir John Beaumont ofLeicestershire. From Oxford he came to London to study law, but soon gaveit up to write for the stage. Fletcher (1579-1625...) was the son of thebishop of London, and shows in all his work the influence of his highsocial position and of his Cambridge education. The two dramatists met atthe Mermaid tavern under Ben Jonson's leadership and soon becameinseparable friends, living and working together. Tradition has it thatBeaumont supplied the judgment and the solid work of the play, whileFletcher furnished the high-colored sentiment and the lyric poetry, withoutwhich an Elizabethan play would have been incomplete. Of their joint plays, the two best known are _Philaster_, whose old theme, like that of_Cymbeline_ and _Griselda_, is the jealousy of a lover and the faithfulnessof a girl, and _The Maid's Tragedy_.
