Thomas Middleton (1580-1627) was a writer of great versatility, and
his career as a London dramatist spans the most productive,
innovative, and exciting period of theatrical activity in the
history of English drama. Best known for his tragedies, he also
wrote many successful comedies of city life. This volume brings
together the greatest among them: A Mad World, My Masters,
Michaelmas Term, A Trick to Catch the Old One, and No Wit, No Help
Like a Woman's. The first three plays, written between 1604 and
1606, are witty and rambunctious satires on the predatory life of
the aspiring London citizen. Sex and money are the characters'
obsessions; their caustic exposure Middleton's. In the later play,
No Wit (1612), satire shades into romance, prose into verse.
Together the four plays reveal the range and exuberance of
Middleton's writing for the comic stage. Under the General
Editorship of Michael Cordner of the University of York, the plays
have been newly edited and are presented with modernized spelling
and punctuation. In addition, there is a scholarly introduction and
detailed annotation. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford
World's Classics has made available the widest range of literature
from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's
commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a
wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions
by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text,
up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.
