Description

This volume presents a fresh new edition of the most important play by one of Shakespeare's most creative contemporaries.

Francis Beaumont's The Knight of the Burning Pestle is a free-wheeling, satirical romp through the world of early modern theatre.

Hilarious, outrageous, and unpredictable, Beaumont's comedy confounded its first audiences but has since been recognized as a singular comedic gem from the golden age of English playmaking.

Todd Pettigrew's new Broadview Edition provides an engaging and up-to-date introduction to the play, a clean, modern edition of the text, and detailed annotations.

A rich selection of historical appendices provides additional ways to understand the play's complex literary allusions and cultural contexts.
