This introduction to the plays of Middleton and Tourneur, discusses each work in detail and gives biographical and social background as well as setting the works in their historical and theatrical context. A brief discussion of the questioned authorship of "The Revenger's Tragedy" (often attributed to Middleton) is followed by discussion of that play and Tourneur's "The Atheist's Tragedy". Thomas Middleton's writing career spanned the Jacobean period more or less exactly. He was engaged in virtually every activity open to the professional dramatist, and his work - often innovatory and experimental - engaged directly with the major issues of his time. By the author of "Arden of Faversham".
