Description

The Spanish Tragedy was the first 'revenge tragedy' on the English Renaissance stage: but for its influence, major dramas including The Revenger's Tragedy, The Duchess of Malfi and even Hamlet would not exist as they do. It is thus a key text for the study of Renaissance drama and normally appears in introductory undergraduate courses on Renaissance drama and Shakespeare. Despite its initial smash-hit status, after the closing of the theatres in 1642 the play was only once performed in Britain before its gradual revival in the 20th century. Following its first professional performance in 1973, the play has come to be recognised as a Renaissance classic, receiving frequent performance. This volume will bring together its most insightful and influential modern scholars to produce an edition read both by experts in the field and lovers of Thomas Kyd's drama. Review "Well argued, clear, and thought-provoking ... not only informative but also well written and thus more enjoyable to read ... discusses a wide variety of subjects for such a concise book." - H-Nationalism About the Author Thomas Rist is Senior Lecturer in English at the University of Aberdeen. His publications include Shakespeare's Romances and the Politics of Counter-Reformation, Revenge Tragedy and the Drama of Commemoration in Reforming England and, co-edited with Andrew Gordon, The Arts of Remembrance in Early Modern England: Memorial Cultures of the Post-Reformation.
