4.0 out of 5 stars
Solid individual edition,
This review is from: The Devil's Law-Case (New Mermaids) (Paperback)
If this green-shaded edition of The Devil's Law Case looks like it has time-warped in from the '70's, that's because it sort of has. While this edition sports the usual solid editing and textual apparatus (footnotes, introduction, textual notes) found in the New Mermaids series, it *is* an older editing job. Consequently, the introduction and notes are pre-theory, which will bother some people and likely make others perfectly happy. Because of this, there are a lot of formalist-style notes, pointing out Webster's references to himself and so forth. That said, at the time I ordered it (Jan '06), if you want to read this play (not Webster's best, and confusing in some places, but a veritable index of Jacobean anxieties) in an individual edition, this is your only in-print choice. While it won't quite match the rest of your New Mermaids collection, it is a more than adequate choice.
