Beschreibung
Thomas Middleton (1580-1627) was one of the most prolific and fascinating playwrights of the Jacobean era producing nearly fifty theatrical pieces in a quarter of a century. This collection comprises five of his most powerful plays from the comedies satirizing city life A Trick to Catch the Old One and A Chaste Maid in Cheapside to his later tragedies Women Beware Women and The Changeling in which Middleton reveals a world dominated by the corrupting power of lust and subject to the futility of human pretensions. Also included is The Revenger's Tragedy originally ascribed to Cyril Tourneur a Revenge Play infused with sardonic wit and biting irony.
