The Renaissance or Early Modern period saw a creative explosion of such force that, four hundred years later, its plays are still some of the most frequently performed and studied of dramatic works. This anthology offers a full introduction to Renaissance theatre in its historical and political contexts, along with newly edited and annotated texts of such plays as: Edward II (Christopher Marlowe), Tis Pity She's a Whore (John Ford), and The Masque of Blackness (Ben Jonson).

The ideal companion for both students and teachers of Tudor and Stuart plays. I … was able to use it and recommend it to my students … .They loved it almost as much as I did. The book features … excellent, thought-provoking readings of the major plays … and a wonderfully quirky, fascinating, and useful section on recurring tropes and patterns … .The major writers are represented, and the book will work nicely with the Norton and the Blackwell anthologies … .I recommend this book with the highest praise

Covering the period comprising the Renaissance and Reformation, this volume introduces a unique set of interdisciplinary biographical dictionaries providing basic information on the people who have contributed significantly to Western culture. Unlike general dictionaries which focus on political and military figures, this book covers such figures as the religious leaders who contributed to the Reformation, scientists who paved the way for a new view of the universe, and Renaissance painters, sculptors, and architects, as well as writers and musicians.
