Originally published in 1988, John Ford: Critical Re-Visions offers
a wholesale reconsideration of the reputation of a major Caroline
playwright. The volume takes an historical perspective and offers a
better understanding of Ford's achievement in the light of the
theatrical and social conditions of his own day. The collection of
essays was assembled for the 400th anniversary of the playwright's
birth. The contributors, well known scholars in the field, work
from a variety of critical positions: insights associated with a
new historicist, feminist, structuralist and post-structuralist
theory are represented, together with more traditional approaches.
The essays range from detailed readings of the individual plays,
including 'Tis Pity She's a Whore, Perkin Warbeck, Love's Sacrifice
and The Lady's Trial to more wide-ranging studies of imagery and
theatrical convention; several help to illuminate our understanding
of Ford's plays in the theatre of his own time, while another
offers a detailed account of post-war stage, film and television
productions.
