Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A New Way to Pay Old Debts: A Play Written Characteristics. Comparatively little is known of he lives of the Elizabethan and Jacobean dramatists - even the life of the greatest, Shakespeare, is wrapped in a shroud of mystery and ´possibility.´ So with the life of Philip Massinger, the author of A New Way to Pay Old Debts one of the few early plays, apart from the Shakespearean dramas, that have held the stage since its earliest production, assigned to a year previous to 1633, when in quarto form it first reached the hands of the public. No apology is needed for the inclusion of Massinger´s famous work in The Temple Series of distinguished dramatists. It is a great play in every sense of the word - a play of which even Shakespeare would not have been ashamed, and certainly far superior to the quality of ´the seven contemptible dramas,´ as Mr. Sidney Lee styles them, ´in which Shakespeare had no hand that were published with his name or initials on the title-page while his fame was at its height.´ According to Henry Hallam, the historian, Massinger, as a tragic writer, is second only to Shakespeare, and in the higher comedy scarcely inferior to Jonson, and is a dramatist who, in conception of character, excels both Jonson and Fletcher - deservedly worthy praise and thoroughly just, as Hallam made few mistakes in his literary judgments of literary predecessors or contemporaries. ´Every modern critic,´ says Hallam, ´has been struck by the peculiar beauty of his language.
