Plays set for close study are The Spanish Tragedy, Hamlet, The Revenger's Tragedy, The Malcontent and The Duchess of Malfi. The plays are read as unique events occupying positions in historical process concerning the privatisation of the family (by means of symbolism and concrete household strategies such as budgeting and surveillance) and the subsequent appropriation of the family and its methodsRoutledge Studies in Renaissance Literature and CultureEnglish dramaEarly modern and Elizabethan, 1500-1600History and criticismEnglish drama17th centuryHistory and criticismRevenge in literatureFamilies in literaturePolitics in literatureElectronic books.English dramaHistory and criticism.English dramaHistory and criticism.Revenge in literature.Families in literature.Politics in literature.822/.309355McMahon Chris1962 June 8-,975787MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910462926003321Family and the state in early modern revenge drama2222036UNINA
