Maids Tragedy (Revels Plays)

T. W. Craik

PALGRAVE~MACMILLAN

Generally acknowledged to be the most powerful of Beaumont and Fletcher’s plays and frequently performed by the best actors of the seventeenth and early eighteenth century, The Maid’s Tragedy (1610-11) disappeared from the stage (except in a much-altered and very successful Victorian adaptation) until recent years, when major companies have rediscovered its appeal. In this fully annotated edition, the editor has given careful attention to the sense of the lines, the stage action and the verse. Many new emendations of textual errors, as well as improvements in stage directions and lineation, are either introduced or proposed. The introduction explores Beaumont and Fletcher’s use of the three known sources (two of them previously neglected) for incidents in the play, gives the fullest available account of its stage history, and provides a sympathetic interpretation of the play as a romantic tragedy.

The Maid's Tragedy (The Revels Plays)

Manchester University Press

This is the first edition for students and general readers of this pro-woman reply to Shakespeare's 'The Taming of the Shrew' by a playwright (John Fletcher) who was more admired than Shakespeare in the seventeenth century. Co-edited by a feminist critic and a distinguished textual scholar, this new textbook makes clear why "The Tamer Tamed" should be restored to the theatrical repertoire and the literary canon. It includes the fullest commentary ever provided for the play, explaining for modern students Fletcher's verbal exuberance and his uninhibited sexual language. The full critical introduction describes the play's Renaissance context, its historical and literary sources (including Aristophanes's "Lysistrata"), and its subversive relationship to Shakespeare's "Shrew" and Ben Jonson's "The Silent Woman". It also surveys the play's subsequent theatrical and critical history. A unique and essential companion to the numerous textbook editions of Shakespeare's play, "The Tamer Tamed" provides exciting new material for current debates about the history of gender, marriage, and drama.

Volume one and two of The Lanchester Legacy, by Chris Clark, deal with the famous Lanchester cars. Volume three includes biographies of the three Lanchester brothers, but is mainly devoted to the non-car research and interests of Dr. Frederick William Lanchester, and reviews and evaluates their importance.  Fred Lanchester was one of the first engineers to evolve a theory of flight, and there are chapters on aerodynamics and the use of aircraft in warfare. He devised a mathematical theory of military strategy, the N-Square Law, which is the foundation stone of operations research. This has been developed in Japan as a business marketing strategy, and one of its leading exponents writes for the first time in English on its applications.  Lanchester wrote on optics, building construction and many engineering firsts; he published books on the theory of dimensions, the musical scale, and several volumes of poetry; they are all reviewed here.  He applied for over 400 patents, 236 of which were granted; they are all listed. There is also a bibliography of all Lanchester known publications, reports and contributions to the discussions at engineering institutions' meetings, and a guide to the sources of Lanchester documents open to the public.
