Book Overview

""Your Five Gallants"" is a play written by Thomas Middleton in the early 17th century. It is a satirical comedy that follows the story of five young men who spend their time in London's fashionable areas, engaging in various vices and immoral activities. The five gallants are all from different social classes and backgrounds, but they share a common desire for pleasure and entertainment. The play explores themes of deception, greed, and social class, as the gallants engage in various schemes and plots to achieve their goals. The characters are complex and multi-dimensional, with each one having their own motivations and desires. The play is known for its witty dialogue, sharp satire, and colorful characters. It is a classic example of Jacobean drama and is still performed today in theaters around the world.GOLDSTONE For instance; Put case yourself, after some robbery done, Were pursu'd hardly, why, there were your shelter, You know your sanctuary; nay, say you were taken, His letter to the justice will strike't dead: 'Tis policy to receive one for the head.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
