Featuring essays by major international scholars, this Companion
combines analysis of themes crucial to Renaissance tragedy with the
interpretation of canonical and frequently taught texts. Part I
introduces key topics, such as religion, revenge, and the family,
and discusses modern performance traditions on stage and screen.
Bridging this section with Part II is a chapter which engages with
Shakespeare. It tackles Shakespeare's generic distinctiveness and
how our familiarity with Shakespearean tragedy affects our
appreciation of the tragedies of his contemporaries. Individual
essays in Part II introduce and contribute to important critical
conversations about specific tragedies. Topics include The
Revenger's Tragedy and the theatrics of original sin, Arden of
Faversham and the preternatural, and The Duchess of Malfi and the
erotics of literary form. Providing fresh readings of key texts,
the Companion is an essential guide for all students of Renaissance
tragedy.
