Produktbeschreibung

Thomas Heywood was a playwright, miscellanist and a translator. Arguing that Heywood's theatrical output deserves the same attention and study that has been directed towards Shakespeare, Jonson, and Middleton, this book looks at the periods of Heywood's creativity. It explores how Heywood participated in the civic life of London in his writings.
