It also employes new critical methods and textual theory. Volumes one and two are devoted to the plays. Unusually the edition integrates theatrical aspects of the plays with their bibliographical and literary features. The edition presents all of Webster's plays and provides a brief biography, an account of the Webster canon , illustrations and critical and theatrical histories of each play. Volume three includes writings by Webster in various genres, from the elegy to comic drama to a Lord Mayor's show.
