Product Description
Thomas Middleton (1580-1627) was an English Jacobean playwright and poet. Middleton stands with John Fletcher and Ben Jonson as among the most successful and prolific of playwrights who wrote their best plays during the Jacobean period. He was one of the few Renaissance dramatists to achieve equal success in comedy and tragedy. Also a prolific writer of masques and pageants, he remains one of the most noteworthy and distinctive of Jacobean dramatists. Middleton wrote in many genres, including tragedy, history and city comedy. His best-known plays are the tragedies The Changeling (written with William Rowley) and Women Beware Women, and the cynically satirical city comedy A Chaste Maid in Cheapside. His plays are characterized by their cynicism about the human race, a cynicism that is often very funny. True heroes are a rarity in Middleton; in his plays, almost every character is selfish, greedy, and self-absorbed. ... Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars makes you wonder about nature vs nurture
This work of Thomas Middleton wonder about the nature vs nurture issue.Are we preprogrammed to be who we are or does our upbringing shape who we are?In this play, we are given several examples of love and marriage and how these things can be corrupted.What Middleton asks is: Are marriageand love corrupted by people themselves or is it a corrupted institutionfrom the start?He also pays close attention to the value of money andcommodities.Marriage was a money-making venture during the Renaissanceand in some places, it still is.You have to keep asking yourself whilereading this play if, in Middleton's society, true love is possible and, ifso, how can it or will it eventually overcome a society based on materialpossessions and monetary value? ...

5-0 out of 5 stars WAY TO HARD TO GET!
If you see it on stock, you must buy it! Believe me, these are too expensive and too exclusive.

2-0 out of 5 stars Not As good as the others
I read the original Street fighter series (3 comic books) Udon published and was very pleases. This book however is amateur at best. Considering Udon usually draws very good the drawing in this book are awful. They even shoveled in some artists that didn't draw the original comic. The result is that the art varies in style every 2 or 3 pages and looks bad. The story is just a couple of things taken from the actual games (like the SF2 fight between Ryu and Sagat) so you won't be surprised. Sorry but I can't recommend this book.

5-0 out of 5 stars Great
It was an okay book I wish it would have continued the story but hey. Its a good buy.

2-0 out of 5 stars Vol 4 is just ok, lousy at times.
Volume 4 is just ok.It is lousy at times.Some of the artwork is similar to that of Vol 1 to 3, but some of the artwork is weird and wacky, and although it is nice as an artform, it takes away from the story itself.The writing is the same as the other volumes since it is the same author/writer.The stories in here are 2 to 4 pages in length, very short.There are a lot of short stories. It kind of fills in the gaps, but in a lousy very quick way.The stories could have been longer.The art bothered me and so did the stories.I was happy with my Vol 1, 2, and 3 purchases, but I wish I could return this for a refund.

5-0 out of 5 stars GREAT FOR STREET FIGHTER FANS!
This is a great graphic novel for all who love graphic novels and for Street Fighter fans especially.This one really sums up the last 3 novels in short detail, but has some new revealing information regarding the characters backgrounds.Cant wait for the next volume!

I recommend the whole Street Fighter series as I rate the whole series 11 stars out of 10. ... Read more

4-0 out of 5 stars Good Selection - All Three Plays Make Good Reading
Penguin Classics is to be commended for publishing these plays from the Jacobean period (1603-1625). I enjoyed all three and ranked the collection as four stars.

Revenge tragedies were popular in the late 1500s and early 1600s in much the way that action thrillers are today. The editor, Gamini Salgado, considers these three plays to be outstanding examples of the revenge genre. Salgado argues that in The Revenger's Tragedy and The Changeling the dramatist is most interested in the effect of violence on the moral stature of the characters while in The White Devil violent action is more emblematic of the moral corruption of society.Two plays have settings in Italy, and the other Spain; all three dramas reflect early sixteenth century English misconceptions and prejudices regarding other European countries. Salgado discusses each play in detail in a forty page introduction.

The Revenger's Tragedy (1607) - The plot is not unduly complex. Vindice desires revenge for the poisoning death of his betrothed, Gloriana, by the lustful, aging Duke. Vindice is perhaps obsessive; he has retained Gloriana's skull and sometimes speaks directly to her.We learn of a murder, a rape leading to a suicide, and yet another aggressive seduction (or rape, if need be) that is in the planning stage. So ends Act 1. Revenge and mayhem follow.

In disguise Vindice provokes discord between his enemies and leads them to plot against each other. (This ruse reminds me of Malevole's subterfuge in John Marston's play, The Malcontent.) A poisoned skull, a mistaken execution, and a murderous banquet highlight the later acts. The play concludes with an ironic twist, possibly added as a moral lesson, or simply to surprise the audience.

Scholars disagree on the authorship. Hats off to either Cyril Tourneur, or Thomas Middleton, or whoever may have authored this fascinating tragedy. Five stars.

The White Devil (1612) - Despite John Webster's reputed dark and dismal view of human nature, I found The White Devil to be considerably less gruesome and less shocking than Shakespeare's Titus Andronicus. There are some poisonings, stabbings, and stranglings, especially in the final act, but what makes Webster's play truly memorable is the continuous intrigue, deceit, and betrayals. Webster adapted to the stage an actual murderous event that occurred in Italy a few decades earlier. Paolo Giordano, Duke of Brachiano, and the beautiful Vittoria Corombona, as well as others in this play are not entirely fictional.

The second act presents the initial murders - the poisoning of Isabella, wife to Brachiano, and the killing of Camillo, husband to Vittoria - in two dumb (silent) shows representing conjurer's images of the actual murders. Plots and counterplots compete in the following acts, resulting in the deaths of nearly all key characters in the final act. Most die loquaciously, expositing on their guilt and thoughts of divine punishment. Four stars.

The Changeling (1622) - Thomas Middleton authored the tragic plot while William Rowley created the comic scenes. What makes The Changeling unique is the tight coupling of the comic and tragic story lines. The two plots occasionally converge, but more importantly Rowley's comic plot echoes and reinforces Middleton's tragic story.

In the Jacobean period a changeling was a fickle person, one without a moral compass. The Dramatis Personae indicates that Antonio, a love-struck fellow that imitated a fool to gain admittance to an asylum to become close to the young wife of an older doctor, was the changeling. Many readers, however, are more likely to conclude that the actual changeling was Beatrice, a beautiful young woman that becomes involved in murder and adultery (the order is correct, murder first and adultery later). Four stars. ... Read more

Product Description
Following Queen Elizabeth I’s reign, the new court of King James was beset by political instability and moral corruption. This atmosphere provided fertile ground for the dramatists of the age, who explored the ways in which social decadence and the abuse of power breed resentment, leading inexorably to violent retribution.

In Cyril Tourneur’s The Revenger’s Tragedy, the debauched son of an Italian Duke attempts to rape the virtuous Gloriana—a veiled reference to Elizabeth I. John Webster’s The White Devil depicts a sinister world of intrigue and murderous infidelity, while The Changeling, perhaps Thomas Middleton’s supreme achievement, powerfully portrays a woman bringing about her own unwitting destruction. All three are masterpieces of brooding intensity, dominated by images of decay, disillusionment, and death. ... Read more

3-0 out of 5 stars The format, notes etc.
I believe the book could have been a lot more accesible with a foot-note system or even a numbered note system. The notes are marked only with '*' and paging back and forth through the text can be (and is) very tiresome. Other than that the book is a great size for travel reading and the font is easily dicipherable. ... Read more

3-0 out of 5 stars How Do I Use On Kindle?
I love acrostic puzzles and when I saw this available on my Kindle, I bought it immediately. Now that I have it, though, I don't know what to do with it. How can I "read" this book on my Kindle and solve the puzzles in the book?

2-0 out of 5 stars disappointing for non-Brits
I was so excited to have a whole book of crostics but this seems to be written for people who know lots of specific British history and literature!I've got a post-graduate degree but still had to give up on almost all of the clues - I guess next time I'll pay more attention to where a puzzle book originates.

4-0 out of 5 stars Puzzles
The crostics are harder than I thought they would be, but it is a good set of puzzles.

The Globe Quartos is a ground-breaking new series of forgotten plays co-published with Shakespeare's Globe in London. It marks the astonishing discovery of work by Shakespeare's contemporaries, and for some of the plays, this is the first time they have been in print in over 400 years.

Middleton's craft and wit abound in this masterly satire of London Society at the turn of the 17th century. Disjointed and dysfunctional families wrangle and plot, cuckold and gull, 'but women's wit is ever at full moon'. ... Read more
