'Tis Pity She's a Whore
'' 'Tis Pity She's a Whore'' is a tragedy written by John Ford. It was likely first performed between 1629 and 1633,〔Terence P. Logan and Denzell S. Smith, ''The Later Jacobean and Caroline Dramatists'', Lincoln, NE, University of Nebraska Press, 1978; p. 141.〕 by Queen Henrietta's Men at the Cockpit Theatre. The play was first published in 1633, in a quarto printed by Nicholas Okes for the bookseller Richard Collins. Ford dedicated the play to John Mordaunt, 1st Earl of Peterborough and Baron of Turvey.
==Controversy==
The play's treatment of the subject of incest made it one of the most controversial works in English literature.〔Logan and Smith, p. 127.〕 The play was entirely omitted from an 1831 collected edition of Ford's plays; its title has often been changed to something euphemistic such as ''Giovanni and Annabella'' or Tis Pity'' or ''The Brother and Sister''. Until well into the twentieth century, critics were usually harsh in their condemnations. The subject matter offended them, as did Ford's failure to condemn his protagonist. "Instead of stressing the villainy, Ford portrays Giovanni as a talented, virtuous, and noble man who is overcome by a tumultuous passion that brings about his destruction."〔Mark Stavig, ''John Ford and the Traditional Moral Order'', Madison, WI, University of Wisconsin Press, 1968; p. 95.〕 Since the mid-twentieth century, scholars and critics have shown more tolerance, understanding, and appreciation of the complexities and ambiguities of the work.〔Logan and Smith, pp. 128–9〕
