Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Narcissus, a Twelfe Night Merriment belongs to the class of University plays, as it was acted at S. John's College, Oxford, on Twelfth Night, 1602. It does not, however, approximate in any way to the classical form of comedy; it is rather to be regarded as a Christmas piece, an imitation of the Yule-tide mummeries acted by disguised villagers or townsfolk at the houses of such wealthier persons as would afford them hospitality.
