Description

This is the tenth and final volume in the definitive series of critical, old-spelling texts of the plays in the Beaumont and Fletcher canon, in which the texts are established on modern bibliographical principles. This volume contains the texts of six plays written by Fletcher and his collaborators, Nathan Field, Philip Massinger, Ben Jonson, George Chapman, John Ford and John Webster. Each play is introduced by a discussion of the text and its authorship, and is accompanied by detailed textual notes, a list of press variants, emendations of accidentals and a historical collation. The plays are The Honest Man's Fortune, Rollo, The Duke of Normandy, The Spanish Curate, The Lovers' Progress, The Fair Maid of the Inn, and The Laws of Candy. At the back of this volume, which concludes the series, there is a useful index showing how the plays are distributed between the volumes, and a table giving the authorship of the plays.
