    <![CDATA[&lt;div&gt;John Ford's tragedy, first printed in 1633, is the first major English play to take as its theme a subject still rarely handled: fulfilled incest between brother and sister. It is one of the most studied and performed of all plays of the period, and has been successfully adapted for film and radio. The Revels plays edition by Derek Roper has been the standard scholarly edition since it appeared in 1975. This new edition uses the same authoritative text, but with notes designed for modern undergraduate use. The substantial introduction has been completely rewritten to take account of the studies and new approaches of the last twenty years. it presents the play as an 'interrogative text', in which subversive meanings are inscribed within an apparently orthodox narrative; as a courageous treatment of forbidden love; and as an achieved work of Baroque art.<br/>&lt;/div&gt;]]>

    <body><![CDATA[Read this play for an audition.  Wikipedia claims that Ford was the predominant playwright during the reign of Charles I.  Anyway, it's a verse play and is interesting to compare to Shakespeare although I fear it suffers by the comparison.  The language is much more clear than Shakespeare but the im...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/15114932">more...</a>]]></body>

    <![CDATA[&lt;div&gt;John Ford's tragedy, first printed in 1633, is the first major English play to take as its theme a subject still rarely handled: fulfilled incest between brother and sister. It is one of the most studied and performed of all plays of the period, and has been successfully adapted for film and radio. The Revels plays edition by Derek Roper has been the standard scholarly edition since it appeared in 1975. This new edition uses the same authoritative text, but with notes designed for modern undergraduate use. The substantial introduction has been completely rewritten to take account of the studies and new approaches of the last twenty years. it presents the play as an 'interrogative text', in which subversive meanings are inscribed within an apparently orthodox narrative; as a courageous treatment of forbidden love; and as an achieved work of Baroque art.<br/>&lt;/div&gt;]]>

    <body><![CDATA[The plot was, again, violent, sexist, incestuous, and murderous.  Ford writes all these things very clearly, which is one reason that I gave this play four stars.  The other reason that it gets this rating is that while all these horrible things happen, the play retains its humor.]]></body>

    <![CDATA[&lt;div&gt;John Ford's tragedy, first printed in 1633, is the first major English play to take as its theme a subject still rarely handled: fulfilled incest between brother and sister. It is one of the most studied and performed of all plays of the period, and has been successfully adapted for film and radio. The Revels plays edition by Derek Roper has been the standard scholarly edition since it appeared in 1975. This new edition uses the same authoritative text, but with notes designed for modern undergraduate use. The substantial introduction has been completely rewritten to take account of the studies and new approaches of the last twenty years. it presents the play as an 'interrogative text', in which subversive meanings are inscribed within an apparently orthodox narrative; as a courageous treatment of forbidden love; and as an achieved work of Baroque art.<br/>&lt;/div&gt;]]>
