Beyond Shakespeare

270: The Wooer by George Puttenham (Fragment)


Listen Later

It's time for our last fragment from the pen of George Puttenham, The Wooer.
This is the third of three fragments which comprise the complete dramatic works of George Puttenham, (following Gynaeocratica and Lusty London). It was originally written somewhere between 1570 and 1588, when George included some of the text as an example in his book The Art of Poesy.
With Simon Nader as The Wooer and Fiona Thraille as the Nurse and other speaker - your host, as ever, Robert Crighton.
