A healthily intelligent edition of a beautiful work. As with any "classically structured" revenge drama of the era, there are some issues with credibility that would strain our dramatic notions. And the feminist and religious issues inherent in the text demand further reading than just this Introduction. However, this is a lovely, easy-to-read edition. ( )

In a word ...............Torture.

I did not realize both before I read it and once I started it what a struggle it was going to be for me. This play was written in the 17th century, so if you struggle with Shakespeare, you'll struggle here too.

I understood the barest of its storyline, and none of the details. I certainly don't understand why it has this title, incest and being a whore are not the same thing. Too many plots and betrayals, I may have loved it had it been written in modern language, but as it stands, it was a disaster, I hardly understood a thing. ( )

Um dramaturgo proeminente na época de Charles I conta uma história de incesto, mas não o condena explicitamente, e dá a sua peça o nome de "'Tis Pity She's a Whore". Se você precisa de mais algo para ler o livro, leia o posfácio de Anna, Soror. ( )

comically horrendous play about incest from 1633. I liked the title. ( )

A boy's best friend (with benefits) is his sister, in a Renaissance Italy filled with "banditti," corrupt churchmen, and Machiavellian schemers.

Disturbing, memorable dialogue that mitigates (somewhat) the generally preposterous plot. Think of Shakespeare crossed with a "Grade B" horror film, directed by David Cronenberg. ( )
