- Edited by Theresa Coletti
"This attractive edition by Theresa Coletti, an expert on medieval English drama and the author of a monograph on the play and its contexts, [1] may--I hope--kickstart a more general interest in this remarkable work, especially by historians of both English theater and gender and sexuality. . . . This is an excellent edition for graduates, and advanced scholars, and even for undergraduates. It is accessible, informative, scholarly, and completely reliable." --Ruth Evans, University of St. Louis
