A timeless, little-known literary classic. As the Black Death
ravaged London in 1608, the theatres closed, many people moved out
of town for safety, and playwrights scrambled to find other outlets
for their talent. While Shakespeare retreated to his hometown of
Stratford, Thomas Dekker wrote Four Birds of Noah's Ark, a book
containing fifty-six prayers for the people of London and all of
England. Dekker's prayers bear witness to his deep faith and
profound understanding of human psychology with a power and
poignancy that few written prayers in English literature achieve.
Bringing this devotional classic back into print for the first time
since 1924, editor Robert Hudson has included a fine introduction,
annotated the prayers, and modernised the language without
sacrificing any of its beauty and simplicity. This lovely book at
once surprises and enchants with its literary voice, devotional
heart, and accessible writing.

Thomas Dekker and Robert Englund star in this horror written and
directed by Robert Hall. When a group of people with extreme fears
hear about a man called Dr Andover (Englund) who has built a
chamber designed to cure phobias, they travel to his clinic and
begin treatment. The unconventional therapy consisting of induced
hallucinations seems to work at first, but when some of the
patients still find themselves struggling with their fears one year
on they return to the clinic to try again. As the patients restart
their treatment they discover that not everyone can be cured...
First published in 1905, this edition of Thomas Dekker's The Seven
Deadly Sinnes of London provides the original 1606 text in its
totality. Beautifully presented, this book will be of value to
anyone with an interest in Dekker's writings and English
Renaissance literature in general.
Originally published in 1953, this was the first edition of
Dekker's plays to appear in print since the late nineteenth
century. Thus, for many years prior, Dekker had been the least
accessible of the prominent Elizabethan dramatists, with the result
that his anthologized plays had received undue attention at the
expense of other highly readable works of the second rank.
Professor Fredson Bowers here presents a critical old-spelling text
of the ordinarily accepted canon, together with a few works not
collected previously but which seem to merit inclusion in an
edition of Dekker's plays. The text of the complete plays is in
four volumes and a complementary four-volume set contains detailed
introductions and notes to all the plays. In a general textual
introduction Professor Bowers sets forth a reasoned account of his
editorial method and procedures for a critical edition according to
bibliographical principles.

a general textual introduction Professor Bowers sets forth a
reasoned account of his editorial method and procedures for a
critical edition according to bibliographical principles. Separate
introductions provide textual analyses of the individual plays,
including the circumstances of publication and of textual
transmission. Apparatus for each play consists of textual notes,
tables of press-variants derived from collation of a substantial
number of copies of original editions, lists of editorial
emendations to the copy-text, and historical collations of all
early editions.
Volume III of the Cambridge Dekker contains The Roaring Girl, If
this be not a Good Play..., Troia-Nova Triumphans, Match me in
London, The Virgin Martyr, The Witch of Edmonton and The Wonder of
a Kingdom. Professor Bowers's edition is recognized as a model
critical old-spelling text, where the techniques of strong textual
and bibliographical study have been methodically applied to one of
the least accessible of the Elizabethan dramatists. The
introductions to each play provide textual analyses which set out
the circumstances of publication and transmission. The critical
apparatus gives press variants derived from collations, editorial
emendations to the copy-text and other textual notes.
In the village of Edmonton, Elizabeth Sawyer is shunned by her
neighbours. A poor and lonely old woman, she is harassed and
accused of being a witch. In her abject misery, she wishes that she
really were bewitched and so able to have her revenge. Unluckily
for Elizabeth and the villagers of Edmonton, someone with the power
to grant that wish is listening. First performed in 1621, The Witch
of Edmonton was based by its authors Thomas Dekker, John Ford and
William Rowley on a real-life case of a woman accused of
witchcraft. The play was revived by the Royal Shakespeare Company
as part of its 2014 Roaring Girls season, in the Swan Theatre,
Stratford-upon-Avon, directed by RSC Artistic Director Gregory
Doran and with Eileen Atkins as Elizabeth Sawyer. This Prompt Book
edition of the play features the text edited for the RSC
production, and introductions by key members of its creative team,
including Doran.
A hilarious city comedy by the authors of A Mad World, My Masters
and The Shoemaker's Holiday. Sebastian has a problem. He's in love
with a girl but his father won't agree to their marriage. In
desperation he turns to the one person who can help him, the
fearless and feisty 'roaring girl' Moll Cutpurse. In a London
fuelled by greed and desire, the charismatic, cross-dressing
heroine Moll has the world wrapped around her little finger, and
she has a plan. Cutting a joyously independent path through the
underhand scheming and petty vendettas of the London underworld,
Moll proves more than a match for any man. This Prompt Book edition
of The Roaring Girl was published alongside the Royal Shakespeare
Company's revival of the play in 2014, and features the text edited
for the RSC production, and introductions by key members of its
creative team.
Fievel and friends are back in this third animated adventure. The
chirpy mouse sets out to help Mr Mouskewitz escape the drudgery of
the Fat Rats' factory, setting out with Tony and Tiger the pussycat
to find their fortune with a magical treasure map.
