The Merry Devil of Edmonton - Бесплатная аудиокнига

Tucker Brooke, author of The Shakespeare Apocrypha (available separately here at Librivox), notes that "The external evidence which has been collected to prove Shakespeare's authorship of The Merry Devil of Edmonton is of the most dubious kind" though it includes "the play's presence in the 'Shakespeare volume' of Charles the Second's library" Regardless of whether it is really Shakespeare, though, "Certainly the vitality of the scenes, the heartiness of the humour, and the unsurpassed delicacy in the portrayal of true love and true friendship, make The Merry Devil of Edmonton one of the most delightful of all the pseudo-Shakespearian plays to read and to re-read." - Summary by ToddHW
