A Caroline-era stage play first published in 1652, this comedy is about four noble lovers who join the beggar community for a pastoral life of song and dance, only to find that that the reality of vagabond life is quite different from its literary depiction. This edition includes critical commentary as well as appendixes on the play's six songs, and on rogue literature and cant.

Autorenporträt
Richard Brome (c.1590-1653) was an English dramatist of the Caroline era who wrote for all the major acting companies and theatres. His career as a playwright was put on hold during one of the longest periods of theatre closure. When theatres reopened during the Restoration, a handful of Brome's plays were performed and republished, and the most successful of these was A Jovial Crew. Tiffany Stern is Professor of Early Modern Drama and Fellow of University College at the University of Oxford, UK.
