Customer Review of Four Revenge Tragedies: The Spanish Tragedy; The Revenger's Tragedy; The Revenge of Bussy D'Ambois; and The Atheist's Tragedy (Oxford World's Classics)
 Delightfully Macabre
An excellent collection! THE SPANISH TRAGEDY, of course, is the mother of all English Renaissance revenge tragedies, and it still holds up well today. It inaugurated the fashion that culminated in Shakespeare's HAMLET. THE REVENGER'S TRAGEDY, probably by Middleton, is another strange and wonderful tragedy, full of skulls and poison and dramatic ironies.

>Revenge tragedies are intensely political; they typically involve a terrible murder committed by someone in power, and the court is so corrupt that only extra-legal means for justice or revenge are available. Revenge tragedies always include sensational elements of violence and the macabre that made them very popular in their time. Feigned or real madness, poison, bloodshed, skulls and graveyards abound. Sexual obsession and incest are common. The only modern comparison that seems justified is the horror movie; of course these are stage productions with a minimum of scenery, but many of the actions are just as gruesome and horrific, including explorations of strange obsessions and sexual perversions.

<
>THE REVENGE OF BUSSY D'AMBOIS by Chapman is notable for the elevated language, but hard to follow since it is a sequel without the original. Chapman's drama, however, is rarely published today, so it's nice to have it. THE ATHEIST'S TRAGEDY by Tourneur is amazing for its seeming nihilism. Evil triumphs here.

>The introduction is also helpful and interesting after you've read the plays. The only fault here is the editing; the editors have inexplicably chosen to use endnotes, which are very inconvenient.
