Tis Pity She's A Whore
...well up to the gold standard set by the Arden Shakespeare -- Nicholas Robins Times Literary Supplement 20120309 '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 Rich in its setting up of a historical context for the plot, its analysis of Ford's source material, and its lucid explication of the play's textual and bibliographic history... It is in its commentary that I think this edition shines brightest... I recommend this edition for any student of the play, and know that Sonia Massai has created a new benchmark for future editors of 'Tis Pity. The Shakespeare Bookshop Newsletter
