Soft cover. Condizione: Near Fine. Clean, tight, unmarked; absolute minimal wear; appears unread; First performed by Shakespeare's rivals in the 1590s, Marlowe's The Jew of Malta was a trend-setting, innovative play whose black comedy and final tragic irony illuminate the darker regions of the Elizabethan cultural imagination.

The introduction and historical documents in this edition provide a rich context for the world of the play's composition and production, including materials on Jewishness and anti-Semitism, the political struggles over Malta, and Christopher Marlowe's personal and political reputation.…

Soft cover. Condizione: Very Good. Clean, tight, unmarked; absolute minimal wear; appears unread; Sheridan's last play, an adaptation of August von Kotzebue's Die Spanier in Peru first performed in 1799, was one of the most popular of the entire century.

Pizarro is a play of firsts: the first use of music alongside action, the first collapsing set, the first production to inspire such celebratory ephemera as cartoons, portraits, postcards, even porcelain collector plates. Pizarro marks the end of the 18th century drama and the birth of a new theatrical culture. …
