''This Revels edition points us to the value of reviving The False One as a staged play, quite possibly in the company of one of Shakespeare’s Roman plays or paired with Massinger’s mesmerizing tour de force, The Roman Actor. Lovascio’s twin publications of 2022 fill in a lacuna in our awareness of early modern drama centering on the Roman empire. In that sense, Lovascio has demonstrated his own willingness to emulate Curtius, by leaping into the gulf to preserve this vital but long-neglected Roman play.' Renaissance Quarterly '…a major contribution to the editorial history of this drama… an impressive feat of scholarship: a comprehensive edition worthy of an excellent, scholarly series. Lovascio’s edition is not only a significant milestone in the editorial history of the play; it reveals The False One as a drama that bristles with humour and spectacle worthy of performance, and offers wonderful insights into collaborative practises during the period and the presentation of Rome on the Jacobean stage.’ Early Modern Literary Studies -- .
