Book excerpt: Excerpt from Tis Pity She's a Whore, and the Broken Heart When John Ford was a young man Of twenty read ing law at the inns-of-court he committed two trifling literary indiscretions called Fame' s Memorial and Honour Triumphant. Theselittle tracts, both published in 1606, are of slight intrinsic interest, and they have passed hitherto with insignificant comment. At first sight, indeed, there seems to be no important connection between them and their author's dramatic work which began to appear in print more than a score Of years later. As a matter of fact, however, they yield to closer scrutiny extremely suggestive hints on the source Of Ford's ideas and cul ture, on the native bias Of his character, and on his pe culiar conception Of tragedy.

Download or read book The Witch of Edmonton written by John Ford and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2014-06-13 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is a historical phenomenon that while thousands of women were being burnt as witches in early modern Europe, the English - although there were a few celebrated trials and executions, one of which the play dramatises - were not widely infected by the witch-craze. The stage seems to have provided an outlet for anxieties about witchcraft, as well as an opportunity for public analysis. The Witch of Edmonton (1621) manifests this fundamentally reasonable attitude, with Dekker insisting on justice for the poor and oppressed, Ford providing psychological character studies, and Rowley the clowning. The village community of Edmonton feels threatened by two misfits, Old Mother Sawyer, who has turned to the devil to aid her against her unfeeling neighbours, and Frank, who refuses to marry the woman of his father's choice and ends up murdering her. This edition shows how the play generates sympathy for both and how contemporaries would have responded to its presentation of village life and witchcraft.
