Description
In English Renaissance Tragedy, Thomas McAlindon provides, for the first time, a comprehensive contextual framework for the study of the major non-Shakespearean tragedians. Demonstrating that pre-modern cosmology was fundamentally ambiguous, he argues that it became a model for tragic experience.
Contributor Notes
Thomas McAlindon is a senior lecturer in English at the University of Hull. He is the author of Shakespeare and Decorum.
Editorial Review
Any reader is bound to learn something from the careful readings in McAlindon's chapters on Kyd, Marlowe, Webster, The Revenger's Tragedy and Middleton. - TLS
