The latest in the"Routledge English Texts" series, "'Tis Pity She's a Whore" is John Ford's tragic tale of religious skepticism, incest, and revenge. Edited by Simon Barker, this critical edition explores the larger realm of early seventeenth-century theater and seeks to de- center Shakespeare as the only valid voice of the period. This edition of the play is worked afresh from the Quarto. "'Tis Pity She's A Whore" includes an introduction, complete notes, and a critical essay encompassing the fields of early Stuart theater, the sources and influences of John Ford, a critical history of the play, and an analysis of modern interpretations based on the issues of gender and sexuality.
