John Ford was one of the leading playwrights of the generation following Shakespeare, best known for such plays as The Broken Heart, 'Tis Pity She's a Whore, and Perkin Warbeck. This is the first collected edition of his works since 1869. Volume 1 contains all of Ford's poems and prose works, mostly written before he became a dramatist. Honor Triumphant and The Monarchs' Meeting (1606) celebrate a visit from the King of Denmark. Fames Memoriall (1606) is a panegyric to Charles Blount, a distinguished soldier, courtier and scholar who served both Elizabeth and James. Christes Bloodie Sweat (1613), Ford's greatest poem, is an intense meditation on Christ's Agony in the Garden, which widens out to a sharp analysis of individual and social corruption. Ford developed his characteristic fusion of Christian and Stoic ethics in two prose works, The Golden Meane (1613, here presented with passages added in the 1614 edition), and A Line of Life (1620). Th 'Uncollected Pieces in prose and verse' bring together Ford's commendatory verses to his friends and colleagues, among them Webster, Massinger, and Ben Jonson. This volume also contains two poems new to his canon, A Funerall Elegie for William Peter (1612) and the Elegie for John Fletcher (1625).

Volume IV of the Collected Works of John Ford is the first of two volumes in the series to contain his sole-authored plays.

Authoritative old-spelling texts, freshly edited from the original quartos with full textual collations, are accompanied by a full commentary on all aspects of the plays, from archaic or obsolete words to classical allusions and historical references to people, places, and social customs.

A prominent dramatist of the Caroline period, John Ford was notable for writing revenge tragedies featuring scenes of austere beauty, insight into human passions and grand poetic diction. His masterpiece ’Tis Pity She’s a Whore concerns controversial themes that engage audiences to this day. Ford also wrote comedies, history plays and tragicomedies, distinguished by highly wrought blank verse and tragically frustrated characters, whose intense desires are frustrated by circumstance. These dramas have cemented his reputation as the most important playwright during the reign of King Charles I.
