The Two Noble Kinsmen

by William Shakespeare, John Fletcher, Dr. Barbara A. Mowat (Editor), Paul Werstine Ph.D. (Editor)

Overview

Potter's The Two Noble Kinsmen...shows how, even in the case of a play with a comparatively limited performance history, understanding of performance can inform every aspect of an edition...as usual with the Arden series, it is the amplitude and intelligence of the commentary that is so striking.'Peter Holland, Times Literary Supplement
