While Marston is usually famed more for his very public rivalry with Jonson than for the quality of his plays, this book argues that such a view of Marston seriously underestimates his importance to the theatre of his time. In it, the author contends that Marston's plays represent an experiment in a new kind of satiric drama, with origins in the humanist tradition of serio ludere. His works?deliberately unpredictable, inconsistent and metatheatrical?subvert theatrical conventions and provide confusingly multiple perspectives on the action, forcing their spectators to engage actively with the drama and the moral dilemmas that it presents. The book argues that Marston's work thus anticipates and perhaps influenced the mid-period work of Ben Jonson, in plays such as Sejanus, Volpone and The Alchemist. 606 $aLiterature, Modern 606 $aTheater?History 606 $aLiterature 606 $aBritish literature 606 $aLiterature?History and criticism 606 $aEarly Modern/Renaissance Literature$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/817000 606 $aTheatre History$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/415010 606 $aLiterature, general$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/800000 606 $aBritish and Irish Literature$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/833000 606 $aLiterary History$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/813000 615 0$aLiterature, Modern. 615 0$aTheater?History. 615 0$aLiterature. 615 0$aBritish literature. 615 0$aLiterature?History and criticism. 615 14$aEarly Modern/Renaissance Literature. 615 24$aTheatre History. 615 24$aLiterature, general. 615 24$aBritish and Irish Literature. 615 24$aLiterary History. 676 $a500 686 $aLIT004120$aLIT013000$aLIT019000$aPER011020$2bisacsh 700 $aYearling$b Rebecca$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01060543 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910255232703321 996 $aBen Jonson, John Marston and Early Modern Drama$92514094 997 $aUNINA
