| Synopsis: |
Philaster is a tragicomedy by Beaumont and Fletcher which has much in common with Shakespeare's late plays such as The Winter's Tale.Set in a fictionalised Sicily, it has the complex plot of love,disguise and the threat of death much loved by early moderntheatre-goers.This edition provides an authoritative, modernised text by a leadingscholar with detailed on-page commentary notes giving readers a deeperunderstanding of the play. The comprehensive, illustrated introductiondiscusses Philaster from a performance perspective as well asits relation to Shakespearean drama, and places it in its historicaland critical contexts. The play is often taught on Shakespeare and Early Modern dramacourses but only now is such a detailed, modern edition available foruse by students and scholars.
