From the publisher

The last decade has seen a revival of interest in John Ford and especially 'Tis Pity She's a Whore, his tragedy of religious scepticism, incestuous love, and revenge. This text in particular has provided a focus for scholarship as well as being the subject of a number of major theatrical productions.
Simon Barker guides the reader through the full range of previous interpretations of the play; moving from an overview of traditional readings he goes on to enlarge upon new questions that have arisen as a consequence of critical and cultural theory.

First line

With admiration I beheld this Whore Adorned with beauty such as might restore (If ever being as thy muse hath framed) Her Giovanni, in his love unblamed: The ready Graces lent their willing aid, Pallas herself now played the chambermaid, And help to put her dressings on.
