Description
A fully annotated critical edition of John Fletcher and Philip Massinger’s ground-breaking comedy Love’s Cure, or The Martial Maid (1615), a fascinating exploration of the journey of two transgender characters in an adverse heteronormative society. This Revels Plays edition offers a modernised text and a full critical commentary.
'The culmination of more than a decade of patient textual comparison, collation, and emendation coupled with extensive biographical and historical research, José A. Pérez Díez’s Revels edition of Love’s Cure, or The Martial Maid constitutes an important addition to the relatively small extant body of Fletcher-associated plays available as single volume texts. Supplying us with an accessible modern spelling text of a play that twenty-first century instructors and students will likely find compelling, the edition’s extensive, efficiently organized front matter offers a clear-eyed glimpse into the literary-historical matters that complicate study of the playwright and his collaborators' Early Theatre
