The Parliament of Bees is John Day’s best-known dramatic work. It takes the form of a series of twelve dialogues or ‘colloquies’, which describe ‘the actions of good and bad men in these our days’. This edition brings together a photofacsimile of the 1641 quarto edition, a diplomatic transcription of the manuscript copy surviving in BL MS Lansdowne 725, colour plates of this manuscript, and a full introduction describing the manuscript, quarto, variant readings and collated copies.
