An annotated edition of an important Jacobean comedy, which is currently receiving greater attention from critics and on stage because the leading character is based on a famous personality of the time, Moll Cutpurse. The history of Moll Cutpurse and its subsequent influence on the women’s movement and feminist concerns make this book relevant to women’s study courses and this is edition incorporates variant readings found in only one copy of the quarto.

This Jacobean city comedy is a curiosity in that it presents a real-life character, the notorious cross-dresser Moll Frith, who probably was among the first audiences of ’her’ play before she was taken up for public misconduct. Middleton and Dekker’s ’roaring girl’ may outrage her society with her pipe, bluster and swagger, but she turns out to be the moral centre of the play. Her code of honour leads her to call the bluff on rogues and conspicuous consumers, to thrash a hypocritical gallant in a duel, and to act as go-between for the young lovers thwarted by pare

One of the great Renaissance playwrights, Middleton wrote tragedies essentially different from either Marlowe’s or Shakespeare’s, being wittier than the former and more grittily ironic than the latter. The genre of ’citizen tragedy’ came into its own in the eighteenth century, but Middleton can claim to have created it: Bianca, wife of a middling commercial agent, arouses the lust of the Duke of Florence and becomes his mistress, first secretly, then openly and finally, after her husband has been seduced by the scheming Lady Livia and stabbed by Livia’s brother, t
