An annotated edition of an important Jacobean comedy, which is currently
receiving greater attention from critics and on stage because the
leading character is based on a famous personality of the time, Moll
Cutpurse. The history of Moll Cutpurse and its subsequent influence on
the women's movement and feminist concerns make this book relevant to
women's study courses and this is edition incorporates variant readings
found in only one copy of the quarto.
