Summary
The comedy Susenbrotus is a neo-Latin play, written by the students of Trinity College, Cambridge, and performed before King James I at Royston in March 1615/16. It has never before been translated or edited.
This edition contains the Latin text (prepared from a collation of the two extant manuscript copies), an English translation with annotations to classical and contemporary allusions, and an introduction tracing the development of humanist Latin drama in the universities during the Elizabethan and Jacobean periods.
Susenbrotus is an important document for the neo-Latinist. It will be of interest to anyone studying the English Renaissance, the development of English drama, and the survival of the classical tradition. Its general attitudes toward women will be of interest to feminist scholars.
