This is a 5-act tragicomedy, first recorded in 1631, about a king who can't decide between his wife and his mistress. It's well written and enjoyable, definitely worth reading. The language seems to be more "modern" English than "old" English, so I think the editor may have tried to clean things up. There are some words that are no longer in use, but they've all been footnoted and definitions are at the end of the book. The beginning of the book has a biography of Dekker, a history of the play, a long analysis of the play and a bibliography.
