Selimus - Paperback
by Robert Greene (Author), Mathew R. Martin (Editor)
This Broadview Edition of Robert Greene's Selimus is the first single-volume, modernized edition of this underrated dramatic gem in over a century. First published in 1594, the play grippingly stages the bloody fratricidal warfare inaugurating the reign of Selim I (1512-20) as emperor of the Ottoman Empire. Contributing to the expansion of the range of readily available non-Shakespearean early modern English plays, the edition is designed for scholars and students alike, in the study, classroom, or theatre.
The critically edited text of the play is accompanied by a full introduction, comprehensive annotations, and ample contextual material from the early modern period, including Greene's pamphlet Greene's Groatsworth of Wit.
Mathew R. Martin is Professor of English Language and Literature at Brock University.
