Series Introduction -- Notes on Contributors -- Introduction (Thomas Rist) -- 1 The Critical Backstory (Edel Semple) -- 2 'Look on This Spectacle': The Spanish Tragedy in Performance (Peter Malin) -- 3 The Spanish Tragedy: State of the Art (Stevie Simkin) -- 4 New Directions: Seneca and The Spanish Tragedy (Gordon Braden) -- 5 New Directions: Geopolitics and The Spanish Tragedy (Eric Griffin) -- 6 New Directions: The Spanish Tragedy and Virgil (Tom Rutter) -- 7 New Directions: Female Mourning, Revenge and Hieronimo's Doomsday Play (Katharine Goodland) -- 8 The Spanish Tragedy: Resources for Teaching (Leslie Drury) -- Notes -- Select Bibliography -- Index. "In a world of capital punishment and court corruption, The Spanish Tragedy's ghostly staging of violence and grief mad it the most memorable drama of its age. But what were the sources of Kyd's play, what did he mean by them, and what was their legacy? In a series of accessible, scholarly essays, this volume mediates on The Spanish Tragedy's most pressing themes, its remarkable influence on the drama of the age (including of course, on Hamlet), its gradual side-lining from the theatrical mainstream and its return, in modernity, to dramatic and critical acclaim."--Page 4 of cover
