Hymen's Triumph (Malone Society Reprints)

Samuel Daniel's masque, Hymen's Triumph, was performed in February 1614, as part of the festivities at the wedding of Jean Drummond, daughter of Patrick, third Lord Drummond, to Robert Ker of Cessford, first Lord Roxborough. The text used in this reprint derives from the manuscript now in Edinburgh University Library. This introduction gives a full account of the occasion and of the manuscript itself.
