Review
"One of this year's most significant editions." Studies in English Literature

"This is an extremely satisfying edition. Eseentially a reference book, it will promote both scholarly and theatrical engagement with these other Webster plays." Sixteenth Century Journal Richard Grinnell, Marist College

Book Description
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.
