- This output was planned for publication in September 2020. The production process for any first volume in a new scholarly edition of this kind is complex, but in this case the schedule has been severely impacted by the pandemic and lockdowns. In March and October operations were disrupted as offices closed and colleagues transitioned to working from home. Furthermore, Press colleagues overseeing the production of this volume have been impacted by self-isolation requirements and relatives requiring care. Were it not for the unprecedented disruption the pandemic created this year, this volume would have been in print by 31 December 2020.

- This new scholarly edition of Aphra Behn’s The City-Heiress (1682) contributes to the comprehensive, eight-volume Cambridge Edition of the Works of Aphra Behn which will become the new authoritative edition for Behn studies, and reflects 4 years of sustained research. In order to produce a reliable and authoritative edition, the work analyses a large body of printed and archival materials. The extensive 12,500-word headnote and over 1,000 annotations (comprising 23,500 words of commentary and textual notes which trace variants across editions), undertake a complex and multi-layered process of creative investigation into the play’s socio-political, bibliographical, literary, and theatrical contexts.
