Old Fortunatus is a play written by Thomas Dekker and first published in 1600. The play is a tragicomedy that tells the story of Fortunatus, a poor man who is given a magical purse by the goddess Fortune. With this purse, Fortunatus gains wealth and power, but he also becomes greedy and selfish. Along the way, he meets a variety of characters, including a group of fairies, a group of thieves, and a beautiful woman named Rhoda. The play explores themes of greed, temptation, and the corrupting influence of power. Despite its age, Old Fortunatus remains a popular and influential work of English Renaissance drama. This edition of the play was published in 1904 and includes an introduction by the editor, as well as notes and commentary on the text.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
