Description
'Tis Pity She's a Whore is one of the most controversial plays ever staged in the English theatre. In this illuminating Handbook, Martin White:

- Provides vital contextual material on John Ford's social and literary influences
- Reconstructs the play's performances in Ford's own time and examines later stage, television and film productions
- Guides the reader through the often heated critical and theatrical responses to the dramatic work
