The Dramatic Works in the Beaumont and Fletcher Canon

This is a ten volume definitive edition of critical, old-spelling texts of the plays in the Beaumont and Fletcher canon, in which the texts are established on modern bibliographical principles and published under the general editorship of Fredson Bowers. Each play is introduced by a discussion of the text and its authorship, and is accompanied by detailed textual notes, a list of press variants, emendations of accidentals and an historical collation. The plays of Beaumont alone are published first, followed by those by Beaumont and Fletcher together, Beaumont and Fletcher revised by Massinger, Fletcher alone and finally Fletcher with his numerous collaborators.
