  This title is from the series of paperback editions of classic plays which provide the texts, notes and critical material for A-Level and university students, but are also suitable for the general reader. The introductions place the plays in their historical, social and theatrical context; commentary notes give information on language and staging. This is a new edition of The Jew of Malta , the play which the modern theatre has rediscovered as a masterpiece of dark comedy. It is accepted as a key play of the Elizabethan age, and is seen to be topical in its concern with international politics.
