Reviews

Clare McManus has produced a fine edition of this important play, which has emerged from neglect in recent years. The text has been authoritatively established; the notes are always helpful; and the introduction, in line with this series, is serious, useful and a pleasure to read.
*Around the Globe*

Clare McManus's edition is to a large extent organised around what she sees as the play's 'striking topicality in the post-9/11 moment' ... [and] McManus works hard to ground the play's native characters in Islamic culture.
*London Review of Books*

I gladly recommend McManus’ edition of his work […] I am pleased to see a new, scholarly, well-annotated edition of this old work.
