Förlagets beskrivning
A prominent dramatist of the Caroline period, John Ford was notable for writing revenge tragedies featuring scenes of austere beauty, insight into human passions and grand poetic diction. His masterpiece 'Tis Pity She's a Whore concerns controversial themes that engage audiences to this day. Ford also wrote comedies, history plays and tragicomedies, distinguished by highly wrought blank verse and tragically frustrated characters, whose intense desires are frustrated by circumstance. These dramas have cemented his reputation as the most important playwright during the reign of King Charles I.
