John Of Bordeaux
John of Bordeaux, or The Second Part of Friar Bacon is an Elizabethan era stage play, the anonymous sequel to Robert Greene's Friar Bacon and Friar Bungay.
The play was never printed in its own historical era, and survived in a single, untitled, defective manuscript until it was named and published in 1936. On general considerations it is usually dated to the 1590–94 period, or shortly after the success of Greene's original Friar Bacon.

Famous quotes containing the word john:
“I do not wish to see John ever again,—I mean him who is dead,—but that other, whom only he would have wished to see, or to be, of whom he was the imperfect representative. For we are not what we are, nor do we treat or esteem each other for such, but for what we are capable of being.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
