Description
EMED is an anthology of plays written during London’s first period of commercial theater from 1576-1642. EMED includes some of the 403 plays that still exist from this time that are not Shakespeare's plays. Lastly EMED provides an extensive amount of information about each of the plays and allows you to download each of them. Some are even in their regular spelling as well as regularized forms. -Kelsey Rhodes
