Drawing attention only to those variants that seem to deserve the critical attention of "the serious textual students," Revels editions are annotated extensively: "a special effort has been made to provide information which maybe of value to actors and directors of the play." The introduction and appendices include helpful information related to editions of Jonson's works, dating of the play, Jonson's career, possible sources and influences, and stage history of Volpone from the Renaissance to the present. Includes illustrations, and annotations are fully indexed. |
