DENHAM (Sir John): - Poems and Translations; With the Sophy, A Tragedy.

Glasgow: Printed by Robert and Andrew Foulis, 1751. FIRST FOULIS EDITION. 12mo, 148 x 86 mms., pp. [vi], 228 [229 - 231 Epilogue and Contents, 232 blank, 233 - 234 adverts], contemporary calf, rebacked, gilt spine, green morocco label. A very good copy. Denham (1615 - 1669) made his reputation with this play when it was acted and published in 1641; a verse tragedy, it was based on events in Persia under the tyrannic Shah Abbas I (d. 1628). Sound familiar? Denham's play alludes to a number of contemporary events in England at the time, but with slight modification the language could be easily applied to that part of Arabia today and the play produced without alteration in theatres through the world. Gaskell 188.
