Paperback. Condition: New. New edition. Middleton and his Collaborators explores the career of one of the most prominent and versatile writers of the early seventeenth century. Throughout his working life Thomas Middleton worked in collaboration with several contemporaries notably Thomas Dekker, William Shakespeare, and William Rowley. The book devotes chapters to each, and examines in detail Middleton and Dekker's The Roaring Girl, his intertextual relations with Shakespeare, and arguably his masterpiece, The Changeling, written with Rowley. Collaboration is not merely a 'detail', however, but a structuring principle in the making of theatre during this period, and it is central to an understanding of Middleton drama. This is the first study of Middleton to emphasise the significance of his collaborative relationships, and stresses inturn the intertextual elements of the plays, pageants, poems, and pamphlets. The portrait that emerges is a politicised, theatrically-aware, multi-faceted writer whose chief skill lay in his ability to work in and across a range of genres, as his collaborative relationships and sole works alike demonstrate. …

Soft Cover. Condition: Fine. "An examination of Thomas Middleton's best-known work which analyzes how he used the play to transmit anti-Catholic propaganda in "code", thus circumventing the stringent censorship laws of the early-17th century. Through a close analysis of the text and comparison with contemporary tracts and pamphlets, the authors demonstrate that the play is a brilliant synthesis of Calvinist concerns of the moment and a powerful statement of condemnation of the current state of the nation. The authors also argue that while writing a play of ingenious topicality, Middleton is at the same time presenting a powerful exposition of his sombre view of human nature.".…

Through a close analysis of the text and comparison with contemporary tracts and pamphlets, the authors demonstrate that the play is a brilliant synthesis of Calvinist concerns of the moment and a powerful statement of condemnation of the current state of the nation. The authors also argue that while writing a play of ingenious topicality, Middleton is at the same time presenting a powerful exposition of his sombre view of human nature. -- This new and challenging interpretation of Middleton and Rowley's play The Changeling (1622), argues that the unity of the play is only discernible through the recovery of its lost to Jacobean context: drama as political action during the crisis years of the early 1620s. It also offers a fresh look at Middleton's work in these years, tracing a continuity of concern about immediate political and religious issues and an understanding of their wider apocalyptic significance. The authors propose that The Changeling is encoded Calvinist propaganda and that their interpretation sheds new light on the main and sub-plots of the play, arguing that they are satiric treatments of royal foreign and domestic policies and of disturbing developments divisive of the national church and national unity. This is a book as much about writing under conditions of censorship as about The Changeling. It concludes with a survey of a tradition of political myths, to which it is argued the play belongs, and which extends into the later 17th century. -- Contents: Preface; Introduction: Within Are Secrets; A Contemporary Changeling: Frances Howard; Political Iconography and the Spanish Marriage; Sub-Plot and the Imprisoned Commons; Religious Changelings and False Scriptures; Thomas Middleton's Plays, 1619-1624: Contemporary Concerns Apocalyptic Consciousness; Postscript: The Changeling and Political Myths.…
