'Tis Pity She's A Whore

by John Ford, Sonia Massai (Editor), Gordon McMullan (Editor), John Jowett (Editor), Suzanne Gossett (Editor)

Overview

The latest in theRoutledge English Texts series, 'Tis Pity She's a Whore is John Ford's tragic tale of religious skepticism, incest, and revenge. Edited by Simon Barker, this critical edition explores the larger realm of early seventeenth-century theater and seeks to de-center Shakespeare as the only valid voice of the period. This new edition of the play is entirely new, and worked afresh from the Quarto. It includes an introduction, complete notes, and a critical essay encompassing the fields of early Stuart theater, the sources and influences of John Ford, a critical history of the play, and an analysis of modern interpretations based on the issues of gender and sexuality.
