'Tis Pity She's A Whore by John Ford
The last decade has seen a revival of interest in John Ford and especially 'Tis Pity She's a Whore, his tragedy of religious scepticism, incestuous love, and revenge. This text in particular has provided a focus for scholarship as well as being the subject of a number of major theatrical productions. Simon Barker guides the reader through the full range of previous interpretations of the play; moving from an overview of traditional readings he goes on to enlarge upon new questions that have arisen as a consequence of critical and cultural theory.After completing a four-year term in the US Air Force, John Ford, a native Mainer, was sworn in as a Maine Game Warden. He served as a warden in Waldo County, Maine, throughout the entirety of his twenty-year employment. After retiring in 1990, he ran for county sheriff and was re-elected in 1994. He has been a frequent writer to the Northwoods Sports Journal since 2002 and has authored a local newspaper column since 2002. He and his wife live in Brooks, Maine.
