Product Description

Usually considered to be John Marston's masterpiece, "The Malcontent" is one of the most original and complex plays of the Elizabethan theatre - complex in genre, structure and language. A major reason for the play's pre-eminence lies in the balance it achieves between the opposite claims of laughter and horror which elsewhere in Marston's work show a less stable relationship. This edition, using the same authoritative text as the standard Revels edition has notes designed for modern undergraduate use. The introduction has been rewritten to take into account the most recent scholarship.
