He was educated at Cambridge and Oxford, and led a remarkably irresponsible and dissolute life. The comedy \u003ci\u003eFriar Bacon and Friar Bungay\u003c\/i\u003e was probably written and produced around 1589, and was first printed in 1594. Its account of the marvelous exploits of Friar Bacon is drawn from \u003ci\u003eThe Famous Historie of Fryer Bacon\u003c\/i\u003e, a sixteenth-century account of the legends surrounding the Oxford Franciscan, Roger Bacon (b. 1214). The play was an important influence both on Marlowe's Doctor Faustus and Shakespeare's \u003ci\u003eThe Tempest\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Robert Greene\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Nebraska Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/01\/1963\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 106\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.33lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.96h x 5.00w x 0.36d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780803252622\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDaniel Seltzer was professor of English at Harvard University and at Princeton University, as well as an actor on stage and in films.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University of Nebraska Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":40139361091699,"sku":"9.78E+12","price":15.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/products\/img_f691d6df-e196-439c-b735-87f8789c92c9.jpg?v=1654434507","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/products\/friar-bacon-and-friar-bungay-9780803252622","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
