Description: Five Revenge Tragedies by William Shakespeare Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description Malcontent Vindice unleashes an escalating orgy of mayhem on a debauched Duke for his brides murder, in a ferocious satire reflecting the mounting disillusionment of the age. Publisher Description As the Elizabethan era gave way to the reign of James I, England grappled with corruption within the royal court and widespread religious anxiety. Dramatists responded with morally complex plays of dark wit and violent spectacle, exploring the nature of death, the abuse of power and vigilante justice. In Kyds The Spanish Tragedy a father failed by the Spanish court seeks his own bloody retribution for his sons murder. Shakespeares 1603 version of Hamlet creates an avenging Prince of unique psychological depth, while Chettles The Tragedy of Hoffman is a fascinating reworking of Hamlets themes, probably for a rival theatre company. In Marstons Antonios Revenge, thwarted love leads inexorably to gory reprisals and in Middletons The Revengers Tragedy, malcontent Vindice unleashes an escalating orgy of mayhem on a debauched Duke for his brides murder, in a ferocious satire reflecting the mounting disillusionment of the age. Emma Smiths introduction considers the political and religious climate behind the plays and the dramatic conventions within them. This edition includes a chronology, playwrights biographies and suggestions for further reading. Author Biography Emma Smith is Fellow and Tutor in English at Hertford College, Oxford.
