This volume presents two interludes from the early English Renaissance: Jack Jugler and Thersytes, edited by J. Haslewood. These short dramatic pieces offer a glimpse into the popular entertainment of the 16th century. Jack Jugler is a comedic farce involving trickery and mistaken identity, showcasing the lighthearted humor prevalent in Tudor-era theatre. Thersytes, named after the character from Homer's Iliad, presents a boisterous and satirical take on warfare and heroic ideals. Both interludes, with their lively dialogue and accessible themes, provide valuable insights into the cultural and literary landscape of early modern England. These plays are essential reading for scholars and students interested in the history of English drama and the evolution of theatrical traditions.
