A major new edition of Thomas Kyds The Spanish Tragedy,an outstanding landmark of Elizabethan drama. In its time, it quickly became a box office success and probably inspired Shakespeare to write Hamlet, as it contains a ghost, murders that demand revenge and a hero that hesitates and contemplates suicide. As a revenge tragedy, it set up the salient features of a dramatic genre that would last decades. Its hero, the aged Marshall of Spain Hieronimo, whose son is murdered at night, soon transcended the play and became the standard stage representation of grief, rhetorical passion and madness. Hieronimos main antagonist is one of the first Machiavellian characters of English drama.This edition explores the play in relation to its historical context and contemporary Iberian dynastic policy. It also relates the play, as a literary artefact, to other artistic manifestations of the European Renaissance and offers a fresh assessment of the plays stage history. For the first time in the plays textual history, this edition presents an integrated text inviting a reading of the play as it was published both in 1592 and in 1602.

Interesting but Dense
The Spanish Tragedy is definitely a classic, but I found it a bit heavy and hard to follow at times. The themes are deep, and while I appreciate the literary value, I had to really concentrate to understand everything. Not the easiest read for casual readers!

A Must-Read for Drama Lovers
I recently picked up The Spanish Tragedy from Arden's early modern drama series, and it was such an engaging read. The poetic language and complex characters really drew me in. I loved how historically rich it felt, bringing the past back to life!
