This is the first essay collection on A Mirror for Magistrates, the
most popular work of English literature in the age of Shakespeare.
The Mirror is here analysed by major scholars, who discuss its
meaning and significance, and assess the extent of its influence as
a series of tragic stories showing powerful princes and governors
brought low by fate and enemy action. Scholars debate the
challenging and radical nature of the Mirror's politics, its
significance as a work of material culture, its relationship to
oral culture as print was becoming ever more important, and the
complicated evolution of its diverse texts. Other chapters discuss
the importance of the book as the first major work that represented
Roman history for a literary audience, the sly humour contained in
the tragedies and their influence on major writers such as Spenser
and Shakespeare.
