About this book
Fools and jesters: with a reprint of Robert Armin’s Nest of ninnies. 1608. With an introduction and notes
Author: Armin, Robert ; Collier, John P. (John Payne) (ed.)
Year: 1842
8vo. pp. xx, 67. Original cloth. Originally printed in London in 1608, “by T.E. for Iohn Deane.” A reprint from the madcap prose farrago ‘A Nest of Ninnies’ (1608) by the comedian of Shakespeare’s company, Robert Armin, of which Collier, through Halliwell, had procured a transcript from the Bodleian Library. In this edition, Collier permitted himself a gratuitous slur on the scholarship of his fellow member Charles Knight, with whose popular edition of Shakespeare Collier’s own had begun to compete. See also A. & J. Freeman, John Payne Collier. Scholarship and Forgery in the Nineteenth Century. New Haven, 2004, I, pp. 374-375; II, A49.
