The Jew of Malta (The Revels Plays) - Hardcover
This edition is of the best-known play by one of Shakespeare's chief predecessors and early contemporaries, Christopher Marlowe. The Jew of Malta was enormously influential on Shakespeare when he came to write The Merchant of Venice, and for good reason, since the play explores anti-Semitism and revenge. An introduction discusses the significance of this formative and brilliant play, with detailed commentary provided for meanings of difficult words, lines and references. Distilled from the insight and learning found in the fuller Revels edition but updated and streamlined, this is the most contemporary commentary now available.

Review:
Fuller ... offers an elegant and precise reading of the play. (Anthony P. Bale, Notes and Queries, Vol.47, No.3, Sept. 00.)
sensitive interpretations ... Fuller's commentary is, likewise, extensive and by far the most capacious in this group of editions. Anthony P. Bale, Notes and Queries, Vol.47, No.3, Sept. 00.
The Massacre at Paris is probably Marlow's most neglected works ... Esche's edition provides the necessary resources in order that the intricacies of the play's history need no longer be an obstacle to is accessibility. (Anthony P. Bale, Notes and Queries, Vol.47, No.3, Sept. 00.)
excellent texts for scholars of Marlowe at all levels, marrying precision and provocative readings together with appurtenant material for further analysis. (Anthony P. Bale, Notes and Queries, Vol.47, No.3, Sept. 00.)
