"The Malcontent," usually recognized as John Marston's masterpiece,
is one of the most original and complex plays of the Elizabethan
theatre. Complex in genre, structure and language, it poses
interesting problems for theatre history and textual transmission.
The aim of this edition is to offer answers to the various
questions raised by the play (derived from the thirty-six copies
now extant), to establish a reliable text, to date the play and
relate it to the aesthetic cross-currents flowing at the turn of
the seventeenth century. It also seeks to place "The Malcontent"
within the theatrical traditions both of boy-players and of
Shakespeare's company, which stole the play from the boys and
adapted to their own theatre.
