The 37 essays in The Oxford Handbook of Thomas Middleton
reinterpret the English Renaissance through the lens of one of its
most original, and least understood, geniuses. Shakespeare's
younger contemporary and collaborator, Middleton wrote modern
comedies, tragedies, tragicomedies, history plays, masques,
pageants, pamphlets, and poetry. The largest collection of new
Middleton criticism ever assembled, this ambitious Handbook
provides a comprehensive, in-depth, cutting-edge reaction to OUP's
Collected Works of Thomas Middleton, winner of the 2009 MLA prize
for editing, the first complete scholarly text of his voluminous
and diverse oeuvre. The Handbook brings together an international,
cross-generational team of experts to discuss all these genres
through an equally diverse range of critical approaches, from
feminism to stylistics, ecocriticism to performance studies,
Aristotle to Zizek. Reinterpretations of canonical plays such as
The Changeling, Women Beware Women, The Roaring Girl, and A Chaste
Maid in Cheapside mingle with explorations of neglected or
recently-identified works. Middleton's dramatic use of dance,
music, and clothing, Middletonian adaptation, his relationships to
the classical world and to continental Europe, his fascinating
explorations of sexuality and religion, all receive attention. The
collection also provides new essays on modern and postmodern
reactions to Middleton, including recent Middleton revivals and
films, and living artists' responses to his work-responses that
range from the actresses who play Middleton's women to writers in
various genres who have been inspired by his artistry. The Handbook
establishes an authoritative foundation for the rapidly-expanding
growth of interest in this extraordinarily protean, funny, moving,
disturbing, and modern writer.
