The Revenger's Tragedy treads a line between macabre humour and
moral commentary. Thomas Middleton's aptly named play begins with a
man called Vindice holding the skull of his dead fiancee and vowing
to avenge her death. The tragedy that unfolds features complicated
plot twists in which the licentious Duke and his corrupt family,
who are guilty of rape, poisoning, and much more, become the
victims of torture and murder. This edition offers a comprehensive
analysis of diverse critical attitudes towards the play, with
special attention to its authorship and its ambiguous theological
orientation. A thorough discussion of The Revenger's Tragedy's rich
performance history shows how it has consistently reflected
cultural preoccupations with violence and vigilante justice.
