Description:

A scholarly edition of the first English translation (1602) of a major theatrical text of the European Renaissance.

Review Quotes:

'the most reliable modern text of this work, [including] a new critical apparatus and a detailed and insightful assessment of what is one of the major polemical texts of the Renaissance. This edition [...] brings out of the shadows of literary history a translation that, as Morini persuasively argues, deserves much greater attention. [...] The text is also meticulously annotated, with explanatory notes that clarify metrical, linguistic, cultural, mythological, and literary references, often referring to classical, Italian, and Elizabethan works. [...] Generations of researchers will remain indebted to Morini's meticulous work.'
