The Malone Society

Welcome to the website of The Malone Society, an organisation devoted to textual scholarship of late-medieval and early modern drama. The Society was founded in 1906 at the initiative of A.W. Pollard, and for over a century we have published (almost) every year edited volumes of early printed and manuscript texts of both well-known and neglected plays. We also publish collections of documentary material relating to the performance and reception of early drama. Our best-known publications include W.W. Greg’s edition of Sir Thomas More, a collaborative history play to which Shakespeare may have contributed, and A.C. Dunstan’s edition of the earliest surviving original play in English to have been written by a woman, Elizabeth Cary’s The Tragedy of Mariam.
