For a new generation of critics and directors and students, Thomas Middleton- our other Shakespeare -has become the most important and interesting of Shakespeare’s contemporaries. His Game at Chess was the most popular play on the early English stage. The Oxford Handbook of Thomas Middleton brings together 36 new essays on Middleton’s comedies, tragedies, tragicomedies, history plays, masques, pageants, pamphlets, and poems-many of them collected for the first time in Oxford’s Collected Works of Thomas Middleton. Its international, cross-generational team of experts discuss all of these genres through an equally diverse range of critical approaches, from feminism to stylistics, ecocriticism to performance studies, Aristotle to Zizek. Reinterpretations of canonical plays such as The Changeling, Women Beware Women, The Roaring Girl, and A Chaste Maid in Cheapside mingle with explorations of neglected or recently-identified works.
