Need some help from book antiquers! Need some ideas/sources

I have a friend who is a threatre major, and I would like to give a gift
that will provide some motivation, maybe something she could keep.

What I would like to find is a 17th century Theatre Theory book.

The problem? I can read latin only so well and don't have enough experience
with french to be able to read it well enough to understand what soemthing
is about. The other problem is I really don't know where to go to find such
an article.

The only place I've been able to find remotely what I'm looking for is on
eBay. I've tried local antique book stores and they are not help.

The internet is a powerful resource, do anyone here have any ideas?

Thanks for the help!

Tne=A0relkci,

Might I suggest you give a book written in English about Elizabethan
Drama, instead of a book written in Latin or French?

If your friend likes Shakespeare, I recommend Dramtic Miscellanies:
Consisting of Critical Observations on Several Plays of Shakespeare by
Thomas Davies, originally published in three volumes in 1785. You don't
mention how much you are willing to spend, but you can pick up a modern
reprint of this work for less than fifty dollars.

You can also go to abebooks.com and do the following search: keywords:
Elizabethan Drama. minimum price: $50 Date published: after:1600
befo1900 This search will produce a list of some choice books that
a theatre major might enjoy.

The best choice, perhaps, is to contact a bookseller whose specialty is
Drama, and deal with him or her. Email me and I'll provide a list of
booksellers.

Cheers,
Jerry Morris
