Description
Thomas Kyd: A Dramatist Restored by Brian Vickers For over four decades, Thomas Kyd has been regarded as one of Elizabethan England's most important dramatists. This groundbreaking study offers a fresh perspective on Kyd's life and works, uncovering new plays that were previously attributed to other writers. Research into the anonymous plays published during the plague years has led to the identification of three additional plays by Kyd: Arden of Faversham, King Leir and his three daughters, and Fair Em. These discoveries shed new light on Kyd's output and place him firmly alongside his contemporaries, such as Shakespeare. By examining all six plays in detail, Brian Vickers provides a major reassessment of an underappreciated Elizabethan playwright, establishing Kyd as a major dramatist whose work deserves renewed attention.
