Books by George Chapman

This edition of George Chapman's tragedy is based on the Quarto of 1607 in preference to the much revised Quarto of 1641. The editor believes that the earlier text gives a more certain indication of Chapman's intentions and he has supported this view in his introduction.

In the REVELS PLAYS series, this book contains the text of the play and also its history and background together with a critical interpretation that takes account of its social, historical and theatrical context. It examines the relationship between the three authors and the problem of their collaboration. Aimed at students of Renaissance drama.
