Description
The revenge tragedy flourished in Britain in the late 16th and early 17th centuries. Each of the four plays here defines the problems of the revenge genre, and deals with fundamental moral questions about justice and the individual, while registering the strains of life in an increasingly fragile social hierarchy.
