This early work by James Halliwell-Phillipps was originally published in 1849 and we are now republishing it with a brand new introductory biography. Notices of Fugitive Tracts: And Chap-Books Printed at Aldermary Churchyard, Bow Churchyard, Etc. is an analysis of a miscellaneous selection of early English literature. James Orchard Halliwell-Phillipps was born on 21st June 1820, in London, England. Halliwell-Phillipps was privately educated at Jesus College, Cambridge, where he became intensely interested in the subject of antiquarian English literature. He began publishing works in the field at a very young age, including editing Sir John Mandevilles Travels (1839), and writing an Account of the European Manuscripts in the Chetham Library (1842). His love of literature was accompanied by a passion for all things Shakespearian, producing several publications on The Bard and his works, such as Life of Shakespeare (1848), Curiosities of Modern Shakespeare Criticism (1853), and The Last Days of William Shakespeare (1863). He also took a key role in protecting the historical Shakespearian sites in Stratford-Upon-Avon, Shakespeares town of birth.
