Description

John Ford's tragedy 'Tis Pity She's A Whore was first performed between 1629 and 1633 and since then its themes of incest, love versus duty and forbidden passion have made it a widely studied and performed, if controversial, play.

This guide offers students an introduction to its critical and performance history, including TV and film adaptations.

It includes a keynote chapter outlining major areas of current research on the play and four new critical essays.

Finally, a guide to critical, web-based and production-related resources and an annotated bibliography provide a basis for further individual research.
