A student edition of Marston’s classic play The Malcontent is a tragicomedy deriving from the tradition of the revenge play. The verbal ingenuity of Malevole, the "malcontent", and the extravagance of the drama, push the relentlessness of intrigue to its logical conclusion, exposing the basically comic aspect of the genre. The conventional function of the climactic masque is inverted, leading to the essential resolution of the comedy.This edition comes with full commentary and notes, together with photos of Jonathan Miller’s acclaimed 1973 production at the Nottingham Playhouse.
