This volume contains the texts of six plays written by Fletcher and his collaborators, William Rowley and Philip Massinger. Each play is introduced by a discussion of the text and authorship, has variant readings in footnotes, and is followed by full textual notes and lists of press-variants, emendations of accidentals and historical collations.

"Overall, Bowers' authoritative editions of the Beaumont and Fletcher canon provide a much-needed service for the small but ever diligent body of Beaumont anf Fletcher scholars. One is immediately impressed with the years of research and cross-reference required to amass such a complete cataloging of textual variants, emendations, and authorial collaborations." The Sixteenth Century Journal
"...these volumes...will survive for a long time as a monument to Bower's influential ideas about the critical text." Alan Shepard, Renaissance Quarterly
