"The most extensive new collection in this field published in more than three decades, English Renaissance Drama: A Norton Anthology surveys the astonishing, and astonishingly varied, dramatic works written and performed in Elizabethan and Jacobean England. Popular in their own time, the 27 plays included here -- by Christopher Marlowe, Ben Jonson, John Webster, Thomas Middleton, among many others -- reveal why these playwrights achievements, like Shakespeare s, deserve reading, teaching, and performing afresh in our time. Edited by a team of exceptional scholars and teachers, this anthology opens an extraordinary tradition in drama to new readers and audiences."--Publisher's description.
