Spanish Tragedy

"In a world of capital punishment and court corruption, The Spanish Tragedy's ghostly staging of violence and grief mad it the most memorable drama of its age. But what were the sources of Kyd's play, what did he mean by them, and what was their legacy? In a series of accessible, scholarly essays, this volume mediates on The Spanish Tragedy's most pressing themes, its remarkable influence on the drama of the age (including of course, on Hamlet), its gradual side-lining from the theatrical mainstream and its return, in modernity, to dramatic and critical acclaim."--Page 4 of cover.
