Written in 1609 for Shakespeare's company, "Philaster" is one of
the most ambitious works of literary collaboration ever attempted.
Whereas only the lowest potboiling third of the dramatic repertory
of the time was produced by multiple authorship, this hybrid drama
by a pair of young dramatists was also a new type of tragicomedy.
Its success led the play to be performed for over thirty years and
made Beaumont and Fletcher the only authors besides Shakespeare and
Jonson to be granted the accolade of a posthumous collection of
their plays in Folio. Andrew Gurr's substantial commentary and
notes have never been surpassed since the first publication of the
edition and joins the list of over thirty plays currently published
in The Revels Plays.
