Doing Kyd reads Thomas Kyd’s The Spanish Tragedy, the box-office
and print success of its time, as the play that established the
revenge genre in England and served as a ‘pattern and
precedent’ for the golden generation of early modern playwrights,
from Marlowe and Shakespeare to Middleton, Webster and Ford.
Interdisciplinary in approach and accessible in style, this
collection is crucial in two respects: firstly, it has a wide
spectrum, addressing readers with interests in the play from its
early impact as the first sixteenth-century revenge tragedy, to its
afterlife in print, on the stage, in screen adaptation and
bibliographical studies. Secondly, the collection appears at a time
when Kyd and his play are back in the spotlight, through renewed
critical interest, several new stage productions between 2009 and
2013, and its firm presence in higher-education curriculum for
English and drama. -- .
