The plays of Philip Massinger (1583-1640) have been at the centre
of a recent re-evaluation of the politics of 17th century drama. In
their own time, the plays contributed to contemporary arguments
about appropriate dramatic language. In the 18th and early 19th
centuries they were crucial to the rediscovery of Renaissance drama
outside Shakespeare. During the Victorian period Massinger's plays
gradually fell from grace, to be rediscovered by a new generation
following T.S. Eliot's reappraisal in 1920. This volume presents
and explains the history of the critical reception to Massinger's
work from the early 17th to the late 19th century. The volume
includes extensive selections from the writings of Pepys,
Goldsmith, Coleridge, Hazlitt, Lamb and Swinburne, as well as
briefer comments from Scott, Byron and Keats. Responses to
Massinger's plays from writers as diverse as Boswell, Mrs Thrale,
Dickens and Elizabeth Barrett Browning are discussed in the
introduction, which also includes an account of the plays' original
political and theatrical context.
