Five Plays Av Thomas Middleton

Thomas Middleton was one of the most prolific and fascinating playwrights of the Jacobean era, producing nearly fifty theatrical pieces in a quarter of a century. This collection comprises five of his most powerful plays, from the comedies satirizing city life,<i> A Trick to Catch the Old One</i> and<i> A Chaste Maid in Cheapside</i>, to his later tragedies <i>Women Beware Women</i> and <i>The Changeling</i>, in which Middleton reveals a world dominated by the corrupting power of lust and subject to the futility of human pretensions. Also included is <i>The Revenger''s Tragedy</i>, originally ascribed to Cyril Tourneur, a Revenge Play infused with sardonic wit and biting irony.<br><br>For more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world.
