A. T. Moore's thorough commentary on "Love's Sacrifice" is designed
to be of use to all kinds of readers, from students of Early Modern
drama to specialists in the field. The notes provide full
explanations of obscure words and phrases, and offer analyzes of
many aspects of staging and interpretation. The text for this
edition is based on a fresh study of the quarto of 1633, the only
authoritative early text. In his introduction to the play, Moore
reappraises the evidence for the play's date of composition. He
also looks at the circumstances of the play's genesis, presenting
detailed discussions of both the theater where "Love's Sacrifice"
was first performed and the acting company for which it was
written. Arguing that Ford's adaptation of his source materials is
the key to interpreting this remarkably allusive play, Moore
provides a wealth of new information about Ford's sources.The
introduction also includes a survey of critical responses, an
overview of the play, stage history, and a bibliography of relevant
secondary material. This new volume in the "Revels Plays" series is
the most detailed and comprehensive edition of "Love's Sacrifice"
ever published - and the first modern-spelling edition of Ford's
tragedy in more than a century. The play's textual history is
discussed in an appendix. A second appendix examines possible links
between "Love's Sacrifice" and the real-life story of the murdered
Italian prince and musician Carlo Gesualdo. -- .
