        The Maid's Tragedy

        Beaumont and Fletcher

        by David Bevington, T. W. Craik, Richard Dutton, Alison Findlay, Helen Ostovich

        Generally acknowledged to be the most powerful of Beaumont and Fletcher's plays and frequently performed by the best actors of the seventeenth and early eighteenth century, The Maid's Tragedy (1610-11) disappeared from the stage (except in a much-altered and very successful Victorian adaptation) until recent years, when major companies have rediscovered its appeal. In this fully annotated edition, the editor has given careful attention to the sense of the lines, the stage action and the verse. Many new emendations of textual errors, as well as improvements in stage directions and lineation, are either introduced or proposed. The introduction explores Beaumont and Fletcher's use of the three known sources (two of them previously neglected) for incidents in the play, gives the fullest available account of its stage history, and provides a sympathetic interpretation of the play as a romantic tragedy. ;

        Courting Disaster

        Reading between the Lines of the Regency Novel

        by Zoë McGee

        What do #MeToo and Jane Austen have in common? More than you might think. Ever since the novel was invented, women have used it as a platform for sharing ideas about sexual consent. Zoë McGee reveals how Jane Austen, Frances Burney and their now-overlooked contemporaries used their stories to try to change society's mind about rape culture - and to reassure survivors they were not alone. Courting Disaster takes a timely deep-dive into a series of classic novels, comparing them with both historic court records and current events to show that our arguments about consent are not a new phenomenon. With the wit and wryness of a courtship novel, McGee reads between the lines to unveil a quiet feminist movement that still resonates today. Because every novel about marriage is also a novel about consent. In an era that's clamouring for a return to the values of the past, Courting disaster asks what that would really mean, and whether anyone actually liked it back then anyway.

        Beyond The Spanish Tragedy

        A study of the works of Thomas Kyd

        by Lukas Erne, Paul Edmondson, Martin White

        Kyd is arguably Shakespeare's most important tragic predecessor. Brilliantly fusing the drama of the academic and popular traditions, Thomas Kyd's plays are of central importance for understanding how the drama of Shakespeare and his contemporaries came about. Called 'an extraordinary dramatic . genius' by T.S. Eliot, Thomas Kyd invented the revenge tragedy genre that culminated in Shakespeare's Hamlet some twelve years later. In this study, The Spanish Tragedy - the most popular of all plays on the English Renaissance stage - receives the extensive scholarly and critical treatment it deserves, including a full reception and modern stage history. Yet as Erne shows, Thomas Kyd is much more than the author of a single masterpiece. Don Horatio (partly extant in The First Part of Hieronimo), the lost early Hamlet, Soliman and Perseda, and Cornelia all belong to what emerges in this work as a coherent dramatic oeuvre. This groundbreaking study is now in paperback. ;

        The Tragedy of Antigone, The Theban Princesse

        by Thomas May

        by Edited by Matteo Pangallo. Series edited by Paul Dean

        Thomas May's The Tragedy of Antigone (1631), edited by Matteo Pangallo, is the first English treatment of the story made famous by Sophocles. This edition contains a facsimile of the copy held at the Beinecke Library of Yale University, making the play commercially available for the first time since its original publication. The extensive introduction discusses, among other things, the ownership history of existing copies and their marginal annotations, and of the play's topical political implications in the light of May's wavering between royalist and republican sympathies. Writing during the contentious early years of Charles I's reign, May used Sophocles' Antigone to explore the problems of just rule and justified rebellion. He also went beyond the scope of the original, adding content from a wide range of other classical and contemporary plays, poems and other sources, including Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet and Macbeth. This volume will be essential reading for advanced students, researchers and teachers of early English drama and seventeenth-century political history.

        Settler/colonialism in Kashmir

        Sovereignty, catastrophe, indigeneity

        by Goldie Osuri

        Sovereignty, catastrophe, Indigeneity examines Indian rule in occupied Jammu and Kashmir through settler/colonial geopolitics. Engaging with settler colonial, decolonial and Indigenous studies, the book explores how European sovereignty was shaped by settler/colonialism. Settler/colonialism was catastrophic for Indigenous worlds and generated the climate crisis. The book explores how India draws on settler/colonialism's catastrophic mechanisms to rule Kashmir, thus fuelling the climate crisis and participating in the geopolitical settler/colonial world order. Sites of analysis include the India China rivalry, Kashmir's political economy, and India's indigenisation of its Hindu sacred geography in Kashmir. Through this exploration, the author argues for asserting Kashmiri resistance as an Indigenous anti-colonial struggle. The intersections between sovereignty, catastrophe, Indigeneity, and ecology, illuminate Kashmir's place in the geopolitical settler/colonial world order. The book contributes to timely debates regarding settler/colonialism and planetary crises.

        The Revenger's Tragedy

        Thomas Middleton / Cyril Tourneur

        by R.A. Foakes

        This play depicts a morally corrupt world where the desire for justice is contaminated by the obsession for revenge. The characters take pleasure in watching adultery, incest and murder. The play's chief moral spokesman, Vindice, is at the same time enamoured of and disgusted by, the luxury of the court. Locating the play in relation to the best recent criticism, and exploring its complexities with a contemporary eye, furthers the reputation of these comprehensive student editions. ;

        The Spanish Tragedy

        Thomas Kyd

        by David Bevington

        The "revenge" play became the most durable and commercially successful type of drama on the Elizabethan stage. This example by Thomas Kyd, who was one of the originators of the genre, brings to life the intrigues of the Spanish court, dramatically juxtaposing romantic passion with sudden violent death and clandestine politics. The ghost of Dan Andrea and his guide Revenge observe the dark and bloody action throughout, provoking questions about the nature of the human condition. ;
