Untimely Deaths in Renaissance Drama

"English Renaissance scholars will find Andrew Griffin’s book an agreeable re-visioning of some familiar plays, while it brings attention to some neglected plays. It’s also an intriguing approach to late Elizabethan and Jacobean drama."

"Andrew Griffin’s deeply learned and painstakingly written book argues that early modern drama participates in or functions as a form of early modern historiography, one in which the competing forms of memorializing human lives and deaths common to this transitional period of history writing ‘abrupt’ the dramatic narration."
