“Lloyd Kermode’s Norton Critical Edition of The Jew of Malta succeeds in making this challenging play eminently teachable by providing a carefully edited, modernized text complete with clear annotations and a judicious selection of contextual and critical materials. Particularly valuable is the way that the volume allows students to see how understandings of the play and its depiction of Jews have changed over time. Kermode’s gathering of contextual materials offers a convenient and much-needed resource for getting to grips with the challenges of ‘otherness’ both in the early modern world and in our own.” —Dympna C. Callaghan, Syracuse University
LLOYD EDWARD KERMODE is Professor of English at California State University, Long Beach.
