The following is excerpted from the books rear cover: |> Thomas Middleton (1580 - 1627) was a writer of great versatility, and his career as a London dramatist spans the most productive, innovative, and exciting period of theatrical activity in the history of English drama. Best known for his tragedies, he also wrote many successful comedies of city life. This book brings together four of his finest comedies. <| CONTENTS : * A Mad World, My Masters * Michaelmas Term * A Trick to Catch the Old One * No Wit, No Help Like a Woman. Further, the book's blurb continues : |> The first three plays, written between 1604 and 1606, are witty and rambunctious satires on the predatory life of the aspiring London citizen. Sex and money are the characters' obsessions; their caustic exposure Middleton's. In the latter play ("No Wit."), satire shades into romance, prose and verse. Together the four plays reveal the range and exuberance of Middleton's writing for the comic stage. <| SERIES : World's Classics SERIES EDITOR : Michael Cordner TITLE : A Mad World, My Masters and Other Plays AUTHOR : Thomas Middleton (1580 - 1627) EDITOR : Michael Taylor INTRODUCTION : Michael Taylor IMPRINT : Oxford university Press PLACE : Oxford, New York DATE : 1995 EDITION : Modern Reprint - First Printing of the World's Classics Paperback STATUS : This edition Out of Print - OP DETAILS : Trade paperback; 5" x 7 3/4" pictorial wraps, glued; contains an Introduction, Notes on the Text, a Select Bibliography, a Chronology of Middleton Explanatory Notes, and a Glossary; xxvi + 389 pages.
