The Tragedy of Hoffman is a fascinating reworking of Hamlet’s themes, probably for a rival theatre company. In Marston’s Antonio’s Revenge, thwarted love leads inexorably to gory reprisals and in Middleton’s The Revenger’s Tragedy, malcontent Vindice unleashes an escalating orgy of mayhem on a debauched Duke for his bride’s murder, in a ferocious satire reflecting the mounting disillusionment of the age. Emma Smith’s 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.]]>
