Description
This is the third volume in a ten-volume series of the critical old-spelling texts of the plays in the Beaumont and Fletcher canon, in which the texts are established on modern bibliographical principles. Each play is introduced by a discussion of the text, has variant readings in footnotes, and is followed by full textual notes and lists of press-variants, emendations of accidentals and historical collations.
Reviews.,."these volumes...will survive for a long time as a monument to Bower's influential ideas about the critical text." Alan Shepard, Renaissance Quarterly "Overall, Bowers' authoritative editions of the Beaumont and Fletcher canon provide a much-needed service for the small but ever diligent body of Beaumont anf Fletcher scholars. One is immediately impressed with the years of research and cross-reference required to amass such a complete cataloging of textual variants, emendations, and authorial collaborations." The Sixteenth Century Journal ..".these volumes...will survive for a long time as a monument to Bower's influential ideas about the critical text." Alan Shepard, Renaissance Quarterly
