The plays of Philip Massinger (1583-1640) have been at the centre of recent revaluation of the politics of 17th century drama. In their own time, the plays contributed to contemporary arguments about appropriate dramatic language. In the 18th and early 19th centuries they were crucial to the rediscovery of Renaissance drama outside Shakespeare. During the Victorian period Massinger's plays gradually fell from grace, to be rediscovered by a new generation following T.S. Eliot's reappraisal in 1920.Martin Garrett's comprehensive collection presents and explains the history of the critical reception to Massinger's work from the early seventeenth to the late nineteenth century. The volume includes extensive selections from the writings of Pepys, Goldsmith, Coleridge, Hazlitt, Lamb, and Swinburne, as well as briefer comments from Scott, Byron and Keats. Responses to Massinger's plays from writers as diverse as Boswell, Mrs Thrale, Dickens and Elizabeth Barrett Browning are discussed in Martin Garrett's introduction, which also includes an account of the plays' original political and theatrical context.
