Reviews"This new Broadview edition makes medieval England's most extraordinary play accessible to a broader audience. With modernized spelling throughout, brief yet informative notes and glosses, and an introduction that highlights the play's extravagant dramatic complexity, Scoville's edition welcomes students into the fascinating world of this text. Material from biblical and hagiographical sources that would have been familiar to both the playwright and his late medieval audience provide further context for understanding the female character at its center, while reproductions of two of the sole surviving manuscript's pages offer a glimpse of the process by which the script was preserved for future generations. This is an important addition to the Broadview library." -- Joanne Findon, Trent University "Scoville's Digby Play of Mary Magdalene offers an accessible and expertly-glossed text in modernized spelling. Its introduction discusses the play's poetic and thematic features, along with its manuscript history, and provides production information. The explanatory and textual notes and the biblical sources enable undergraduate students to access the greatness and complexity of this play and to join the scholarly conversation about it." -- Frank Napolitano, Radford University
