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.)
