From Ben Jonson's hilarious romp, The Alchemist, to the anonymous drama of domestic violence, A Yorkshire Tragedy, from Thomas Dekker's sprightly comedy of London life, The Shoemakers' Holiday, to John Ford's grim tragedy of forbidden love, 'Tis Pity She's a Whore, this essential guide provides clear and lively information on thirty-four great Elizabethan and Jacobean plays. The book is for anyone wishing to understand this fertile period in British drama, and will be invaluable for students of Shakespeare seeking a fuller understanding of the exciting theatrical times in which he wrote. Features include: * Source and synopsis * The author and his work * Historical context * The playwright's craft * In performance'‘O neglected Marlowe, misjudged Middleton, unheeded Heywood, disregarded Dekker, unfathomed Ford, and O rare Ben Jonson, here at last is a champion!

Simon Trussler provides an excellent rich resource for directors, actors and academics alike: plots, biographies, stage histories and historical background to help further revive interest in Shakespeare's brilliant contemporaries.' Gregory Doran, Royal Shakespeare Company'Simon Trussler is the very best of guides to the riches of early modern drama, telling us so much about the plays' contexts and their significance, their craft and their power, and reminding us just how exciting these plays are on stage. If only we could see these plays in performance as easily as we can read them!' Professor Peter Holland, Editor of Shakespeare Survey
