Description
The Spanish Tragedy by Thomas Kyd is a seminal work in the history of English Renaissance drama. First performed in 1589, it established the revenge tragedy genre and has had a lasting impact on the art form. In this revised edition, Professor Andrew Gurr has updated the text to incorporate the latest stage history and critical interpretations of the play. The new edition also includes the scenes added in 1602, providing a more comprehensive understanding of the play's themes and context. This edition offers a valuable insight into Elizabethan attitudes towards revenge, as well as the Senecan features that shape the play. A key work in the development of English drama, The Spanish Tragedy is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in the history of theatre and the Renaissance period.
