Five Elizabethan Tragedies

This is a companion volume to Five Elizabethan Comedies by the same editor, A.K. McIwraith, who again provides an interesting Introduction and Notes. The plays are; Seneca's Thyestes in Jasper Heywood's translation; Sackville and Norton's Gorboduc, the first English tragedy; Kyd's Spanish Tragedy; the anonymous Arden of Feversham, one of the earliest English 'domestic tragedies', sometimes attributed to Shakespeare; and Thomas Heywood's A Woman Killed with Kindness.
