John Fords Tis Pity Shes a Whore

More about the book

Giovanni is deeply infatuated with his sister, Annabella, leading to a tragic tale of incest. This retelling of John Ford's "'Tis Pity She's a Whore" presents a compelling narrative of forbidden love. Charles Lamb praised Ford as a master poet who sought to explore profound emotions through the actions and struggles of his characters. The author encourages translations into other languages, granting permission for copyright, publication, and retention of royalties, provided credit is given for the original retelling. The aim is to promote the use of these adaptations in educational settings. Permissions are extended to Finland and all other countries to distribute copies of the retellings to students indefinitely. Similarly, all states, including Texas, are authorized to provide these adaptations to students forever. Teachers are encouraged to distribute copies of the eBooks as supplementary material, without the obligation to teach them directly. For instance, while teaching Homer's epics, educators can suggest the retelling of Virgil's Aeneid as additional reading for students interested in ancient literature. Libraries are also welcome to use the eBooks at no cost, fostering a broader appreciation for classic literature among students.
