It contains three of his most celebrated plays: \u003cem\u003e'Tis Pity She's a Whore\u003c\/em\u003e (1622), \u003cem\u003eThe Lovers' Melancholy\u003c\/em\u003e (1628), and \u003cem\u003eThe Broken Heart\u003c\/em\u003e (1629), as well as the less well-known \u003cem\u003eThe Queen\u003c\/em\u003e (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accompanied by a full commentary on all aspects of the plays, from archaic or obsolete words to classical allusions and historical references to people, places, and social customs.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Brian Vickers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0192865617\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780192865618\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/27\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 512\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.60w x 2.50d","brand":"Brian Vickers","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44069582143743,"sku":"9780192865618","price":245.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_99ce49a5-51ac-46ff-a0b0-96f9c0f0426d.jpg?v=1685425455","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-collected-works-of-john-brian-vickers-9780192865618","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
