About This Book

A scholarly study reconstructs the life and career of the early seventeenth-century dramatist Philip Massinger and situates his output within its theatrical context. It offers line-numbered texts and close readings of representative plays, assesses questions of collaboration and disputed authorship, and examines stylistic and metrical traits. Extensive appendices collate manuscript evidence, editorial collations, lists of collaborated plays, and case studies on specific dramas, while notes, bibliography and an index support further research. The preface, dedications, and discussion of patronage and performance history provide biographical detail and document the author's textual methods.
