Recenzje

'The edition as a whole successfully replaces the pioneering but now seriously outdated edition of F. L. Lucas (1927). The hardback issue is an essential set for any institutional library that claims to cover the field of early modern English drama, and serious students of Webster will be grateful for the affordable paperback … The editors are … committed and adept explicators … Each play is edited fully and explicated seriously. Webster's contribution is described firmly, clearly, and without territorial flag-waving. As a result, he emerges as a more various and wide-ranging dramatist than is suggested by the narrower canon of his better-known works: a writer who embraces co-authorship and adapts readily to a range of generic requirements. In a way that the three-volume set was not, the expanded set is now comprehensive as a starting-point for all future work on the dramatist.' John Jowett, Cahiers Elisabethains
