More Details
This volume contains Thomas Middletons four greatest plays, A Chaste Maid in Cheapside, Women Beware Women, The Changeling, and A Game at Chess/i>. A Chaste Maid in Cheapside is the most complex and effective of the city comedies. Women Beware Women and The Changeling (with William Rowley) are two of the most powerful Jacobean tragedies aside from Shakespeare, studies in lust, power, violence, and self-delusive psychology. A Game at Chess was the single most popular play of the whole Shakespearean era, a satirical exposé of Jesuit plotting and Anglo-Spanish politics which
played to packed houses at the Globe until King James and his ministers banned it. With the most up-to-date introduction available, this volume offers all the play texts newly edited with richly informative annotation.
