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.
