The Roaring Girl: A Norton Critical Edition (Norton Critical Editions) Middleton, Thomas; Dekker, Thomas

Clean, tight, unmarked; very minimal wear; spine straight and uncreased; appears unread; As relevant today as it was when first performed in 1611. With its helpful annotations, historical documents on cross-dressing and on the colorful Mary Frith, and wealth of scholarly interpretations, this Norton Critical Edition brings this dramatic play to life for today's readers. It is accompanied by generous explanatory annotations, five illustrations, and a detailed introduction. Perhaps most engaging for classroom discussion are substantial excerpts from the 1620 cross-dressing pamphlets which appear in annotated, modern-spelling versions. Together they give insight into how gender-bending trends in clothing, similar to those practiced by Moss, were understood in the early 17th century...
