Description

Book Synopsis
Karen Britland is Professor of English at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, USA.

Trade Review
The play is well-chosen for the present moment, with its struggling immigrants, social predation, and vibrant street scenes, and Britland does an excellent job of clarifying the puns and jabs often lost on student readers, much of them in polyglot argot. * Studies in English Literature 1500-1900 *
Attentive to the literary influences behind Marston's play ... Particularly illuminating is Britland's attention to Marston's borrowings from Montaigne. * Times Literary Supplement *
This is by far the best edition of the play on the market, superbly treated by Karen Britland. * Professor Alison Shell, University College London, UK *
