A new, authoritative edition of five classic revenge plays As the Elizabethan era gave way to the reign of James I, England grappled with corruption within the royal court and widespread religious anxiety. Dramatists responded with morally complex plays of dark wit and violent spectacle, exploring the nature of death, the abuse of power, and vigilante justice. This anthology presents five crucial tragedies of the era collected together for the first time, including Shakespeare's 1603 version of Hamletand Middleton's The Revenger's Tragedy, a ferocious satire that reflects the mounting disillusionment of the age. The introduction by Shakespeare scholar Emma Smith explores the political and religious climate behind the plays, as well as their dramatic conventions.

JONSON, Ben

This book provides a mainstream selection of cases on tort, together with statutes, linked by commentary. Each chapter is prefaced by a highly readable introduction alerting the reader to the salient features of the topic under discussion. The text has been designed to be accessible to student readers, and the extracts are of a length that aims to be both manageable and informative. The commentary places the extracts in context, points to other cases for contrast and comparison, and contains, where appropriate, extracts from other relevant authorities. In the light of the increasing influence of EC legislation, particular emphasis is given to those areas which demonstrate this influence, e.g. breach of statutory duty and product liability. The book is intended to be used to provide a reference to key sources to which students cannot always be guaranteed access. The new edition has been brought up to date with important new decisions in the area.
