The introduction to this edition contains an analysis of the first
quarto (including new evidence of its original dating) and a
reconsideration of the play's complex relation to the Shakespearean
histories that preceded and followed it. Charles R. Forker offers a
discussion of Marlowe's use of sources, and presents a new argument
for the drama's five-act structure. He delves into the conflicting
and controversial opinions concerning the genre and sexual politics
of the play, and also includes a full record of the stage history.
Forker has collated some 46 editions (including the important, rare
and usually ignored editions of Broughton and Oxberry in 1818). The
appendices provide substantive variants from the Broughton and
Oxberry texts as well as extracts from the sources.
