Book Description
Excerpt from English Masques The debatable land which is occupied by the subject of the present volume has never been thoroughly explored by English writers. Our dramatic and musical historians, preoccupied as they were by questions of greater interest and weightier import, and tacitly subscribing to Bacon's dictum that "these things are but toyes to come among such serious observations," have been able to make but improvised and desultory excursions into its territories. Hence it is that the task of making a thorough exploration has been left to a German, and we are indebted to Dr. Oscar Alfred Soergel, of the University of Halle, for the first attempt at an adequate discussion of the Masque as a whole, in its origin, development, and decay. To his admirable little monograph, Die Englischen Maskenspiele, Halle, 1882, I desire to express my obligations. In fixing the dates of the several performances I have consulted with advantage Mr. F. G. Fleay's valuable works on the stage. In the case of dates from January 1 to March 24, it should be noted that throughout the book the year is assumed to begin on January 1, and not on March 25.

Book Description
Excerpt from Masques and Entertainments The Italian masque grew out of the Carnival, and was at first especially associated with the Feast of the Epiphany, old Christ mas Day, our Twelfth Day. The English custom of drawing Twelfth Night characters, that came down into this century, was in some sense a survival from the customs out of which our early masques arose. Before its general limitation to a few days before Ash Wednesday, Carnival began on the day after the Feast of Epiphany, and lasted until midnight on Shrove Tuesday, Lent beginning with Ash Wednesday. This whole time was, among the rich, 9. Time of feasts. The rich began at Epiphany their season of festivity; while those who had to earn their livings were content with their own limitation of the costly season to the last week before Lent.
