Аннотация:
This is the most comprehensive collection of Jacobean drama on the market. The lyrical, bloodthirsty tragedies and witty urban comedies in this original collection were first performed during the reign of King James I (1603-25). Though nearly four centuries old, they display surprisingly modern sensibilities regarding sex, violence, morality, and honor. Brilliantly introduced and annotated by Frank Kermode, these seven Jacobean masterpieces are the finest and most representative plays of a time when drama was the most vital and important mirror of English society. The masterpieces are: A Woman Killed with Kindness by Thomas Heywood; Volpone by Ben Jonson; The Revenger's Tragedy by Cyril Tourneur; The Maid's Tragedy by John Fletcher and Francis Beaumont; A Chaste Maid in Cheapside by Thomas Middleton; The Duchess of Malfi by John Webster; and The Changeling by Thomas Middleton and William Rowley.
