| This volume presents a fresh new edition of the most important play by one of Shakespeareâ s most creative contemporaries. Francis Beaumontâ s The Knight of the Burning Pestle is a free-wheeling, satirical romp through the world of early modern theatre. Hilarious, outrageous, and unpredictable, Beaumontâ s comedy confounded its first audiences but has since been recognized as a singular comedic gem from the golden age of English playmaking. Todd Pettigrewâ s new Broadview Edition provides an engaging and up-to-date introduction to the play, a clean, modern edition of the text, and detailed annotations. A rich selection of historical appendices provides additional ways to understand the playâ s complex literary allusions and cultural contexts. |
