Containing a Continuation of the Canon's Discourse upon Books of Knight-Errantry and Other Curious Matters.
The canon now includes a critical appraisal of drama in his discussion with the curate. He says that the plays written for the modern theater are devoid of graceful writing or dramatic development because the public is only interested in spectacle and fast action. Furthermore, he says, the comedies that are played are loosely constructed in terms of historical accuracy, chronological sequence, or moral truth.
