Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book advocates for a reappraisal of Philip Massinger's literary legacy. The volume includes four of Massinger's most representative plays: The Virgin Martyr, The Duke of Milan, The Bondman, and The Roman Actor. Each play is accompanied by an illuminating commentary and analysis that provides valuable context for understanding the work of this important playwright. The author argues that Massinger is unduly neglected today and provides extensive evidence to support this claim, offering insightful commentary on Massinger's literary and dramatic techniques. This book positions Massinger within the broader context of 17th-century English drama, exploring his unique contributions and the reasons for his decline in popularity. The author also emphasizes Massinger's preoccupation with human frailty, which was often explored through the lens of religious or political themes, underscoring the enduring relevance of his work to audiences of our own time.
