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. -- .
