Inhaltsangabe

A fully-annotated edition of Middleton's notorious play that provoked a scandal when it appeared in 1624 London by veiling its satire of people in high places a little too thinly behind a metaphor of chess play. Its nine performances were so popular that the government closed The Globe Theatre. The new edition is based on the many surviving manuscripts and documents, and contextualizes the play with contemporary reports and proclamations. Includes an index to the annotations. Distributed in the US by St. Martin's Press. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.
