Middleton and Rowley: The Changeling (Shakespeare Handbooks)

by JayO'Berski (Author)

Synopsis

The Changeling by Thomas Middleton and William Rowley is a luridly sensual dramatic work which was highly regarded in its day, but then largely forgotten until its revival three hundred years later. This timely Handbook:
* offers a detailed theatrical commentary which tracks the motivations of the capricious characters and explores performance possibilities
* examines the cultural conditions that gave rise to the play, juxtaposing them with the conditions of the twentieth century
* analyses early performances as well as later stage and film productions
* presents key critical debates and assessments of The Changeling.
