Book Description
Beggars Bush Francis Beaumont I read his letters of Mart from this State granted For the recovery of such losses, as He had receiv'd in Spain, 'twas that he aim'd at, Not at three tuns of wine, bisket, or beef, Which his necessity made him take from you. If he had pillag'd you near, or sunk your ship, Or thrown your men o'r-board, then he deserv'd The Laws extreamest rigour. But since want Of what he could not live without, compel'd him To that he did (which yet our State calls death) I pity his misfortune; and to work you To some compassion of them, I come up To your own price: save him, the goods are mine; If not, seek else-where, I'le not deal for them. 4 Mer. Well Sir, for your love, I will once be led To change my purpose. Gos. For your profit rather. 4 Mer. I'le presently make means for his discharge, Till when, I leave you. 2 Mer. What do you think of this? 1 Mer. As of a deed of noble pity: guided By a strong judgement. 2 Mer. We are delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection.

Book Description
"The Moral Art of Philip Massinger views the successor of Shakespeare and Fletcher in a new sociopolitical position: one of accommodation based on a moderate reformation of the tradition of the old hierarchy of inherited degree, patriarchy, and patronage. In addition, author Ira Clark claims a superior aesthetic position for tragicomedy as a sophisticated, elaborate synthesis of dramatic conventions in complex multiple plots filled with reversals, recognitions, miraculous conversations, and reconciliations after clashes of absolutes. The genre's complex testing of characters, discovery of their failures, and reintegration of them into a reformed society focuses central sociopolitical and moral issues for an allegedly decadent but actually deeply troubled society. Finally, the study takes into its account Massinger's many collaborations with John Fletcher, which are generally ignored. In sum, this work attempts to revise obsolete views of the dominant playwright just before the closing of the theaters and the opening of the English Civil War." ""A Case for Massinger" presents a critical history of why Massinger is unappreciated, traces his life with an eye to his ideal of patronage and his emphasis on gratitude, and outlines the rest of the work. "Models for Massinger the Apprentice" focuses on the techniques of tragicomedy as Massinger learned them from his three masters. The Queen of Corinth, written with Fletcher, serves as an exemplum of what this master collaborator taught him about tragicomedy. The City Madam. which obviously alludes to Volpone, serves as an example of the traditions of the estates morality play, satiric style, and metadrama, which Jonson transmitted to Massinger. The Duke of Milan and The Emperor of the East, with motifs borrowed from Othello, serve as exempla of how Massinger used traditional dramatic allusions to present social issues." ""Massinger's Political Plays in their Time" focuses on the sociopolitical inclinations that Massinger consistently presented through his collaborations and solo plays. Primarily the issues revolved around the relative value of court and country, monarchism and parliamentary balance, hereditary degree and social mobility, and conspicuous consumption and martial maintenance. "Massinger's Tragedies and Satiric Tragicomedies in their Social and Family Settings" focuses on the social, family, and personal preferences that Massinger presented in his work: a concerned patriarchy, a greater voice for women, and the rights of inheritance by younger sons. "Massinger's Tragicomedy" circles around to view all of Massinger's artistic and sociopolitical themes by way of readings of a collaborative tragicomedy and a solo tragicomedy: The Elder Brother (with Fletcher) and The Guardian."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Book Description
The English Jacobean and Caroline playwright, Philip Massinger was celebrated for his comedic genius, finely plotted plays, social realism and incisive satire. Following the death of Shakespeare in 1616 and Fletcher in 1625, Massinger became the leading playwright of the King's Men's. His most popular and influential play, ‘A New Way to Pay Old Debts’ expresses a timeless indignation at economic oppression and social disorder, while ‘The City Madam’ deals with similar evils, combining naturalistic and symbolic modes.

Book Description
John Fletcher’s Rome is the first book to explore John Fletcher’s engagement with classical antiquity. Like Shakespeare and Jonson, Fletcher wrote, alone or in collaboration, a number of Roman plays: Bonduca, Valentinian, The False One and The Prophetess. Unlike Shakespeare’s or Jonson’s, however, Fletcher’s Roman plays have seldom been the subject of critical discussion. Domenico Lovascio’s ground-breaking study examines these plays as a group for the first time, thus identifying disorientation as the unifying principle of Fletcher’s portrayal of imperial Rome. John Fletcher’s Rome argues that Fletcher’s dramatization of ancient Rome exudes a sense of detachment and scepticism as to the authority of Roman models resulting from his irreverent approach to the classics. The book sheds new light on Fletcher’s intellectual life, his vision of history, and the interconnections between these plays and the rest of his canon.

Book Description
This is the tenth and final volume in a ten-volume series of the critical old-spelling texts of the plays in the Beaumont and Fletcher canon, in which the texts are established on modern bibliographical principles. This volume contains the texts of six plays written by Fletcher and his collaborators, Nathan Field, Philip Massinger, Ben Jonson, George Chapman, John Ford and John Webster. Each play is introduced by a discussion of the text and authorship, has variant readings in footnotes, and is followed by full textual notes and lists of press-variants, emendations of accidentals and historical collations. At the back of this concluding volume there is a useful index showing how the plays are distributed between the volumes, and a table giving the authorship of the plays.
