SHIRLEY (JAMES)

The Maides Revenge. A Tragedy, several woodcut ornaments, fore-margin of 2 leaves (B1-2) repaired with loss of a few letters, modern polished calf gilt [STC 22450; Greg II, 562; Pforzheimer 930], small 4to (185 x 125mm.), T.C. for William Cooke, 1639 [but ?1640]

Footnotes

"This is Shirley's earliest tragedy. It is interesting also on account of the list of Shirley's published works [on A2 verso]" (Pforzheimer). STC lists 2 variant titles, suggesting ours was printed later.
