A Classic Play with a New Perspective

The Roaring Girl is a raucous and entertaining play that follows the adventures of Moll Cutpurse, a cross-dressing thief who defies the social norms of her time. Originally written in 1611 by Thomas Middleton and Thomas Dekker, this new edition brings the play to life for a modern audience.

The New Mermaids edition of The Roaring Girl is edited by acclaimed scholar Farah Karim-Cooper, who provides a fresh perspective on the play. Karim-Cooper's explores the play's feminist themes and its relevance to early modern theater. She also provides detailed notes and commentary that help readers understand the play's historical and literary context.

A Spirited Heroine

Moll Cutpurse is one of the most iconic female characters in early modern drama. She is a strong, independent, and resourceful woman who defies the expectations of her time. Moll is a thief, a cross-dresser, and a master of disguise. She is also a fiercely loyal friend and a compassionate person.

Moll's character is a powerful reminder that women have always had the potential to be strong and independent. She is a role model for women of all ages, and her story is still relevant today.

A New Edition for a New Audience

The New Mermaids edition of The Roaring Girl is a must-read for anyone who is interested in early modern theater or feminist criticism. Karim-Cooper's insightful and detailed notes make this edition accessible to a wide range of readers.

Whether you are a student, a scholar, or simply a lover of great theater, I highly recommend this new edition of The Roaring Girl.
