The Spanish Tragedy: A Norton Critical Edition (Norton Critical Editions)

Thomas Kydâ€™s highly influential and popular revenge play is now available in a richly documented and critically engaging Norton Critical Edition.
The freshly edited and annotated text comes with a full introduction and illustrative materials intended for student readers.

The Spanish Tragedy was well known to sixteenth-century audiences, and its central elementsâ€•a play-within-a-play and a ghost bent on revengeâ€•are widely believed to have influenced Shakespeareâ€™s Hamlet. This volume includes a generous selection of supporting materials, among them Kydâ€™s likely sources (Virgil, Jacques Yver, and the anonymous â€œThe Earl of Leicester Betrays His Own Servantâ€), Thomas Nasheâ€™s satiric criticism of Kyd, Michel de Montaigne and Francis Bacon on revenge, and â€œThe Ballad of The Spanish Tragedy,â€ which suggests the playâ€™s initial reception.

â€œCriticismâ€ is thematically organized to provide readers with a clear sense of the playâ€™s major themes. Contributors include Michael Hattaway, Jonas A. Barish, Donna B. Hamilton, G. K. Hunter, Lorna Hutson, Molly Smith, J. R. Mulryne, T. McAlindon, and Andrew Sofer.

A Selected Bibliography is also included.
