المراجعة التحريرية | `splendid edition ... rich commentaries ... choice of texts, along with the old spelling and careful, minimally intrusive editorial alterations, make this first and foremost an edition for scholars. It is also, though, quite useful for all kinds of readers because of the substantial "Commentary" that Gill provides for each of the works ... Each text is preceded by both a "General Introduction" and a "Textual Introduction". These are of excellent quality and
great value ... Roma Gill has given to the world of Marlowe scholarship a first-rate set of texts and commentaries which firmly establish Marlowe, like Ben Jonson, as a poet and playwright intimately identifiable with the classical tradition and one who must be reckoned with on those terms.' Brian Striar,
University of North Florida, Marlowe Society of America `Roma Gill's determination to give us Marlowe's poetry pure, unemended, and unmodified by the work of others reflects a keen appreciation of it which finds expression also in pithy but powerful introductions to the works in this volume ... this volume is a splendid beginning to the `Oxford Marlowe' - as pure and bright as modern scholarship can make him' Katherine Duncan-Jones, Somerville College, Oxford,
