Infos

The Elizabethan and Jacobean era are known for many things, but they would be incomplete without the works of John Marston; English playwright, poet and brilliant satirist.Known for his vigorous, obscure, and controversial works, Marston began his literary career in 1598 with an erotic poem titled, "e;The Metamorphosis of Pigmalions Image and Certaine Satyres."e; Marston's works were often so controversial or "e;problematic"e; that "e;The Scourge,"e; one of his satires, was burnt by the Archbishop of Canterbury.There are not a lot Playwrights who dared to break convention in the 16th century, but Marston did that fearlessly and relentlessly.In this book, you will find one of his most acclaimed works "e;The Insatiate Countess,"e; based on Bianca Maria, a countess executed for adultery, and known as his most erotic play. As well as two other vital 16th century plays - "e;Princelye Pleasures at the Courte at Kenelwoorth"e; and Udall's "e;Ralph Royster Doyster"e;.
