Delphi Complete Works of Beaumont and Fletcher Illustrated Series Five Book 21 edition by Francis Beaumont John Fletcher Literature Fiction eBooks
I'm taking back my original review, which you can see below, and upping my rating from two stars to four.The fact is, this is as good, and as complete, a Beaumont and Fletcher as you can get anywhere on the Internet. It's true that the prose passages are misaligned, but there is less prose in most of the plays than I thought, the verse is well-set and beautiful, and there's a very low amount of typos (given the deliberate old spelling of some of the words).
Beaumont and Fletcher are just about to get a revival, I predict. In Shakespeare's time and right after Shakespeare died, Fletcher was his fan-favorite successor, and he ran Shakespeare's old theater company and wrote more plays for people's happy consumption than even Shakespeare had.
They're mostly sex-comedies, or sex-tragedies, or sex-melodramas called by Fletcher tragi-comedies, and they're highly capable fast-paced fun, though their morality is beyond out-of-date and goes right into gross-out disgusting. Somehow, that's part of why scholars and theater fans are more interested in them nowadays than they used to be. Good critics like Bernard Shaw have always been aware of their light touch and their ability to please the fans.
If you bought these plays in the latest print edition, ten volumes complete, they would cost you just short of a thousand dollars. And they would have very few explanatory notes. So this Delphi version is a serious bargain, and I should have looked at it more carefully before I got so mean about it. Here's my original two-star review:
ORIGINAL TWO-STAR REVIEW
You can tell just by using the "Look Inside" feature that while the verse seems to be set okay, the very frequent prose passages
are set in the typical
way that shows the scanning is screwed up. Long lines alternate with short. There is lots and lots of prose mixed with verse in
Beaumont and
Fletcher, so the reader is guaranteed constant annoyance. This is too bad, because I know of no way so convenient to get the
entire Beaumont
and Fletcher canon, and it's lots of fun. On the other hand, there are no notes, so anyone who needs help with Early Modern English
is cruising for a bruising
anyway. Life is hard.
