Synopsis:

'Arden of Faversham', 'A Woman Killed with Kindness', 'The Witch of Edmonton', 'The English Traveller'.

Part of the Oxford English Drama series, this edition has modern-spelling texts; a critical introduction that outlines the way all four plays raise powerful and complex questions about the English society in which their tragic events unfold; wide-ranging notes; a chronology of the plays from their sources to recent performance; and appendices relating to two of the plays: who wrote Arden of Faversham and when did Heywood write The English Traveller.
