		The format of the book has been revised to comply with the standards of the new series but the original play text and Ribner’s textual notes are unchanged.
		Ribner’s edition was the finest of its era (the 1960s) and will find an eager audience in professors who prefer to use individual paperback editions of the plays of Shakespeare and his contemporaries rather than huge, unwieldy anthologies.
		His range of reference is astounding and extends from Simon Magus to St. Theophilis to Goethe to Friedrich Wilhelm Murnau to Orson Welles to Charlie Daniels (“The Devil Went Down to Georgia”) and even to a Calvin and Hobbes cartoon.

	Faustus
		There are moments when Faustus seemed to be expressing some of Welles' personal agony and private terror." Cut to 2002, and the Genesis Repertory's fusion of Elizabethan drama and American stage history into their own theatrical version of the classic tale.
		Their new Faustus transplanted the legend of one man's diabolical transaction to "New York City, California [and] Hell, 1937-1962." The titular character became a power-hungry New York director (portrayed by Jay Michaels, a virtual dead-ringer for Orson himself) who bargains his soul to the demons of Hollywood fame and power.
		Their take on Doctor Faustus, enticing and potent though it was, never coalesced into any real theatrical payoff that augmented Marlowe's text or added much to Houseman's original Welles/Faustus analogy.
