About This Book
Accessible edition of the play considered to be Marston's masterpiece. This is one of the most original and complex plays of the Elizabethan theatre - complex in genre, structure and language. Uses the same authoritative text as the standard Revels edition with glosses to help the student understand the play's textual complexities. The introduction has been re-written to take account of recent scholarship.
