Overview
Reviews
A fully modernised, annotated edition of
'Tis Pity She's a Whore
, Ford's controversial tragedy of sibling incest and complex revenge plots. As with all Arden editions, detailed on-page commentary notes help the student understand and appreciate the play both in performance and as a many layered literary text.
The lengthy, illustrated introduction offers a wealth of critical and contextual information about the play, and explores its theme of incest from an early modern perspective. Sonia Massai reveals the startling originality of the play, which is far more than a dark rewriting of
Romeo and Juliet,
and the reasons for its appeal to modern audiences.
About the Author(s)
Sonia Massai is Reader in Shakespeare Studies at King's College, London.
Press Reviews
"One of theatre's most ripping yarns"
Brian Logan, Time Out London, 6.8.09
"In a world dominated by men and religion, [Annabella's] body is something over which men barter, and Giovanni's passion is only sated by absolute possessionof his sister's heart."
Lyn Gardner, Guardian, 28.9.10
"Massai's survey of post-war productions of
'Tis Pity
has been exhaustively done."
TLS
