A Fine Collection at a Fine Price
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
These wild and wicked Renaissance romps give many contemporary movies a run for their money when it comes to suspense, intriguie, malevolent villians--and body count! This collection brings together a great sampling of these plays in a convenient hardcover, a great edition for students and readers who like to cherish their books for a long time. Prof. Gibson offers complete notes to each, and a series of fine introductory material to get you in the right frame of mind to enjoy these classics.
Best value, probably.

Notes are at the back of each play, signalled by asterisks in the text. This is slightly inconvenient, but it allows the inclusion of most of the tragedies usually taught, in up-to-date texts (Faustus is A-text), at a very reasonable price. There is some space for annotation. The paperback is perfect-bound, which is nice.
