Synopses & Reviews
The Malcontent, usually considered to be John Marston's masterpiece, is one of the most original plays of the Elizabethan theatre--complex in genre, structure, and language. A major reason for the play's preeminence lies in the balance it achieves between the opposite claims of laughter and horror. This edition has notes designed for modern undergraduate use and the introduction has been rewritten to take into account the most recent scholarship.
