Volume IV of the first collected edition since 1869 of the works of the major Jacobean author John Ford. All texts have been freshly edited from the original Quarto editions, which have been collated to identify press corrections.
Volume IV of the Collected Works of John Ford is the first of two volumes in the series to contain his sole-authored plays. It contains three of his most celebrated plays: ''Tis Pity She''s a Whore (1622), The Lovers'' Melancholy (1628), and The Broken Heart (1629), as well as the less well-known The Queen (1629). The volume opens with a general introduction to Ford''s work as a sole author by Sir Brian Vickers and each play is given a detailed introduction emphasizing Ford''s linguistic creativity and his effective use of the indoor private theatres. Authoritative old-spelling texts, freshly edited from the original quartos with full textual collations, are accompanied by a full commentary on all aspects of the plays, from archaic or obsolete words to classical allusions and historical references to people, places, and social customs.
