Description
Thomas Middleton's A Mad World, My Masters and Other Plays brings together four witty and engaging comedies of city life, showcasing the versatility and innovative spirit of one of England's most celebrated dramatists. Written between 1604 and 1612, these plays offer a satirical look at the lives of aspiring London citizens, exploring themes of sex, money, and social status. With newly edited text, a scholarly introduction, and detailed annotation, this collection provides a unique insight into Middleton's writing for the comic stage. The plays, including A Mad World, My Masters, Michaelmas Term, A Trick to Catch the Old One, and No Wit, No Help Like a Woman's, reveal the range and exuberance of Middleton's writing, from the caustic satire of his earlier works to the more romantic tone of his later play, No Wit. This edition, under the General Editorship of Michael Cordner, presents Middleton's plays in modernized spelling and punctuation, making them accessible to a new generation of readers. With its rich historical context, detailed annotation, and scholarly introduction, this collection is an excellent choice for anyone interested in Renaissance drama, literary criticism, or the works of Thomas Middleton.
