"This Malevole is one of the most prodigious affections that ever
conversed with nature: a man, or rather a monster, more discontent
than Lucifer."
""
"The Malcontent" is a striking example of the new satiric tone and
moral seriousness in English comedy of the early 1600s. The play's
vision of a fallen humanity driven by lust and ambition is created
partly by its depiction of Machiavellian intrigue in the court of
Genoa, and partly by the disaffected Malevole, the malcontent of
the title, who is actually the deposed Duke Altofronto in disguise.
Marston's tragi-comedy is full of reversals, surprises and moral
transformations and offers a thin disguise for the Jacobean court
and its vices.
This new student edition contains a lengthy new Introduction with
background on the author, date and sources, theme, critical
interpretation and stage history.
