Antonio and Mellida was the first play by John Marston performed by
the newly revived Paul's Company in 1599. Marston sought to display
a variety of talents, comic, tragic, satiric and historical,
advertising his own dramatic skills and the prowess of the
choristers of Paul's. The play is based on incidents in the reigns
of Sforza, Francesco, Galeazzo and Lodovico, who were Dukes of
Milan in the late fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries. Marston
displays a detailed knowledge of the dramatic works of Shakespeare,
Seneca, Kyd and Nashe as well as the prose of Sidney, Erasmus,
Montaigne, Florio and others. This edition relates the play to a
wide variety of literary contexts. It also includes a comprehensive
introduction, an analysis of staging, and full commentary. The text
is based on a collation of all known copies of the 1602 Quarto and
is presented in a thoroughly modernised format. -- .
