To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

We find plays which fluctuate between the semi-serious and the wholly comic, such as RQwley'^ fj^rth "...f Mf,rUn, -^^prf- mat- ter which does not lack a serious side, and which indeed occasionally compels the dramatist to a certain sobriety, is for the most part made an excuse for foolery of a rather vulgar sort. Likewise the prologue of The Merry Devil of Edmonton, in which the enchanter Fabell tricks the fiend 264 THE SUPERNATURAL IN TRAGEDY who has come to demand fulfilment of his contract into granting him a seven years' respite, is serious at the begin- ning, but soon passes into the comic, and has no bearing on the rest of the play.
