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.

Published anonymously in 1823, ""The Night Before Christmas"" has
traditionally been attributed to Clement Clarke Moore (1779-1863),
who included it in his Poems (1844). But descendants of Henry
Livingston (1748-1828) claim that he read it to his children as his
own creation long before Moore is alleged to have composed it. This
book evaluates the opposing arguments and for the first time uses
the author-attribution techniques of modern computational
stylistics to settle the long-standing controversy. Both writers
left substantial bodies of verse, which are analyzed for
distinguishing characteristics. Employing a range of tests and
introducing a new one-statistical analysis of phonemes-this study
identifies the true author and makes a significant contribution to
the growing field of attribution studies.
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 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.
Many plays of Shakespeare's time were, like modern movie and television scripts, products of collaboration between two or more writers. This book shows that in the first of his Late Romances, Pericles, Shakespeare collaborated with the minor playwright George Wilkins. It explores a wide range of new techniques for identifying the co-authors in plays by Shakespeare and his contemporaries.
The second volume in the Cambridge Edition of the Works of John Webster contains The Devil's Law-Case, A Cure for a Cuckold, and Appius and Virginia. 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.
