New College Library & Archives has published a new book in its exciting imprint.
Richard Zouche: Fallacy / The Sophister (c. 1614): A Wykehamist Play is now published.

The play survives in two texts, a manuscript version called Fallacy (c. 1614), and a printed text titled The Sophister (1639), the latter being a substantial revision of the former.
This is the first edition in modern times of a little-known Jacobean play by Richard Zouche (1590–1661), written most probably while he was a young fellow of New College, Oxford.
