Really excellent choice of plays, really excellent handling of explaining obscure terms. Not much else to say but it's definitely remaining on my shelves.

To a novice reader of Jacobean drama, this was astonishing at every turn. Macabre and savagely satirical, it gleefully heaps up absurdities and extremities of conduct. It also made me wonder why, in our own age of hypocrisy and excess, we don't have more productions of revenge tragedies.
