Carefully edited from the unique copy, now at Eton College Wikipedia page about this book: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ralph_Roister_Doister Produced by Louise Hope, Barbara Tozier and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net "Roister Doister" by Nicholas Udall is a comedic play written in the early 16th century. The work is considered one of the earliest English comedies, signaling a transition from medieval mystery plays to more modern forms of drama. The story revolves around the character Ralph Roister Doister, a boastful and foolish man who pursues marriage with the widow Christian Custance, despite her existing engagement to another suitor, Gawin Goodluck. At the start of "Roister Doister," we are introduced to various characters, including the protagonist Roister Doister and his witty friend Mathew Merygreeke, who provides comic relief and astute commentary on Roister's antics. Crafting a plan to woo Custance, Roister's bravado is underscored by his lack of true wit, and he often seems oblivious to the fact that his advances are not welcomed. The opening establishes the comedic tone of the play through lively dialogues and Roister's exaggerated self-perception, foreshadowing the humorous misadventures that await as he seeks to win the heart of Custance against the odds.
