With its over-the-top and highly theatrical approach to revenge, \u003ci\u003eThe Revenger's Tragedy\u003c\/i\u003e has emerged as one of the most compelling examples of a drama by one of Shakespeare's contemporaries. This collection of ten newly-commissioned essays situates the play with respect to other Middleton and Shakespeare works as well as repertory, showcasing recent research about the play's engagement with issues such as religion, genre, race, language and performance.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReview(s):\u003cbr\u003e“Provides a rigorous orientation to a single work.
