[edit] Description from course catalog

During the reigns of Elizabeth I and James I, theatre reached its apex as powerful courts interacted with controversial plays to help shape political, economic, and social life. Six important dramas enable us to question how early modern theatre participated in history and how it may still speak to us. Works include Kyd’s The Spanish Tragedy, Jonson’s Volpone, Marlowe’s Edward II, Webster’s Duchess of Malfi, Middleton and Rowley’s The Changeling, and Ford’s Tis Pity She's a Whore. British, Pre-1700.
