Descriere

Revenge plays became the most durable and commercially successful type of drama on the Elizabethan stage.The Spanish Tragedybrings to life the intrigues of the Spanish court, dramaticallycontrasting romantic passion with violent deaths and clandestinepolitics.

Recenzii

The Spanish Tragedy has a long stage history which Calvo and Tronch summarize concisely [in this book]. Professional performances up to 2010 are documented, but amateur performances, often ignored by critics, are also shown to yield interesting insights.
A well-thought-out contribution to the study of Kyd, The Spanish Tragedy, and its underlying themes of cultural representation, power relations, afterlife studies, early modern international relations, and historical context analysis.
