A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The Globe Quartos is a ground-breaking new series of forgotten plays co-published with Shakespeare's Globe in London. It marks the astonishing discovery of work by Shakespeare's contemporaries, and for some of the plays, this is the first time they have been in print in over 400 years.

Middleton's craft and wit abound in this masterly satire of London Society at the turn of the 17th century. Disjointed and dysfunctional families wrangle and plot, cuckold and gull, 'but women's wit is ever at full moon'. Hugely popular in its time A Mad World My Masters is a forgotten classic which can be read and enjoyed in this edition where it can be rediscovered in all it's original glory.
