The Dramatic Works in the Beaumont and Fletcher Canon -- Book Description --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Review

"Overall, Bowers' authoritative editions of the Beaumont and Fletcher canon provide a much-needed service for the small but ever diligent body of Beaumont anf Fletcher scholars. One is immediately impressed with the years of research and cross-reference required to amass such a complete cataloging of textual variants, emendations, and authorial collaborations." The Sixteenth Century Journal

"...these volumes...will survive for a long time as a monument to Bower's influential ideas about the critical text." Alan Shepard, Renaissance Quarterly --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars "A reader" is not reviewing volume 9, April 14, 2005

By	William Routt (Australia) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: The Dramatic Works in the Beaumont and Fletcher Canon: Volume 9, The Sea Voyage, The Double Marriage, The Prophetess, The Little French Lawyer, The Elder Brother, The Maid in the Mill (Hardcover)

Although volume 9 of Fredson Bowers' Beaumont & Fletcher project is a good one, none of the plays mentioned by "a reader" occur in volume 9. This means that the review by " a reader" is definitely useful, but perhaps not in the way it was originally intended.

5.0 out of 5 stars An interesting collection, May 19, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The Dramatic Works in the Beaumont and Fletcher Canon: Volume 6, Wit Without Money, The Pilgrim, The Wild-Goose Chase, A Wife for a Month, Rule a Wife and Have a Wife (Hardcover)

Having taught B&F in my early 17th cent. drama class, I can recommend Wit without Money and, to some extent, The Wild-Goose Chase. I would not bother with Wife for a Month, one of the weakest and poorly written of their collaborations. Nevertheless, this is a handy book.
