Summary:

This new volume in the Revels Plays series is the most detailed and comprehensive edition of "Love's Sacrifice ever published--and the first modern-spelling edition of Ford's tragedy in more than a century. In his introduction, Moore reappraises the evidence for the play's date of composition. Arguing that Ford's adaptation of his source materials is the key to interpreting this remarkably elusive play, Moore provides a wealth of new information about Ford's sources.
