This is the third and final volume of the Cambridge edition of the
works of John Webster. It contains the final complete play in the
edition, the City comedy Anything for a Quiet Life, as well as
Webster's spectacular Lord Mayor's pageant Monuments of Honour and
his Induction and additions to John Marston's The Malcontent.
Webster's non-dramatic work is also included: the deeply felt verse
elegy to Prince Henry entitled A Monumental Column, his various
shorter poems, including verses for the engraving of The Progeny of
... Prince James, and the thirty-two New Characters added to the
sixth edition of Sir Thomas Overbury's Characters. This Cambridge
critical edition preserves the original spelling of all the plays,
poetry and prose, and incorporates the most recent editorial
scholarship, including valuable information on Webster's share in
the collaborative plays, and new critical methods and textual
theory.
This is the first volume to appear in the Cambridge edition of the
works of John Webster, beginning with the plays The White Devil and
The Duchess of Malfi. The following volume planned for publication
will include the other plays as well as the poems and prose. While
both The White Devil and The Duchess of Malfi are available in
modernized versions, the Cambridge edition incorporates the more
recent editorial scholarship including valuable information on
Webster's biography, critical methods, and textual theory. In
particular, the edition integrates theatrical aspects of the texts
with their bibliographical and literary features in a way not
previously attempted for a scholarly edition of a Jacobean
dramatist. The edition also presents previously unpublished
material including a fragment of an otherwise lost play and a
hitherto unknown poem and provides a brief biography of Webster, a
history of the Webster canon, and reception history for each play.
This is the second volume to appear in the Cambridge edition of the
works of John Webster and includes The Devil's Law-Case, A Cure for
a Cuckold and Appius and Virginia. This critical edition preserves
the original spelling of all the plays; incorporates editorial
scholarship, including valuable information on Webster's share in
the collaborative plays; and employs alternative critical methods
and textual theory. In particular, the edition integrates
theatrical aspects of the plays with their bibliographical and
literary features in a way not previously attempted in a scholarly
edition of a Jacobean dramatist. The edition presents all of
Webster's plays (with the exception of those collaborative plays
already published in the Cambridge editions of Dekker, and Beaumont
and Fletcher) and provides a brief biography, an account of Webster
canon, illustrations, and critical and theatrical history of each
play.

This critical edition preserves the original spelling and incorporates the most recent editorial scholarship, including valuable information on Webster's share in the collaborative plays. In particular, it integrates the plays' theatrical aspects with bibliographical and literary features.

This is the fourth and final volume of the Cambridge edition of the
works of John Webster. It contains four plays Webster wrote in
collaboration, one - Sir Thomas Wyatt, a historical tragedy based
around Lady Jane Grey - as part of a team of five led by Thomas
Dekker, two - Westward Ho and Northward Ho, city comedies that
prompted Chapman, Jonson, and Marston's Eastward Ho - with Thomas
Dekker alone, and one - The Fair Maid of the Inn, an Italianate
tragicomedy of which Webster wrote the largest share - with John
Fletcher, Philip Massinger and John Ford. With the inclusion of
these four plays, this Cambridge edition becomes the first complete
works of John Webster. The edition preserves the original spelling
of the plays, poetry, and prose, and incorporates the most recent
editorial scholarship, including information on Webster's share in
the collaborative plays, and new critical methods, textual theory,
and theatrical analysis.
The book follows exactly the tried and tested format of the earlier
"RAF Bomber Command Losses" series both in content and the way the
book is organized and presented.
Each entry is set out in the same way with a sequence of entries
for a single day. Losses are recorded by unit and then within each
unit by the serial number of the aircraft involved. The entries are
accompanied by commentaries, which are provided at appropriate
points. The number of losses recorded in this volume will be
somewhere in the region of 1,700. These will include aircraft from
the RAF, the South African Air Force, the free French Air Force,
and the U.S. Army Air Force, during the periods when these air arms
were operating under direct RAF control.
This book is the first of two projected volumes covering the
Bomber Commands losses in the Middle East and Mediterranean during
the war. A further volume covering 1943-1945 is projected to follow
this one.The distinction relating to the units included in these
volumes is particularly important in relation to the USAAF, as its
period under RAF was brief. This series will sell well to aviation
historians, especially those interested in Bomber Command.
