Four Revenge Tragedies (The Spanish Tragedy, The Revenger’s Tragedy, The Revenge of Bussy D’Ambois, and The Atheist’s Tragedy) [EPUB ebook] 

The four plays in this collection are a representative collection of dramas that exhibits the development of the Jacobean era revenge play. In ’The Spanish Tragedy’ we find the aftermath of a conflict between the Viceroy of Portugal and the Spanish empire. The death of Spanish officer Andrea prompts Horatio, Andrea’s best friend, and Bel-imperia, who was in love with Andrea against her family’s wishes, to seek revenge against Andrea’s murderer, Balthazar, the Viceroy’s son. ’The Revenger’s Tragedy’ follows the young son of an Italian duke through his attempt to revenge the death of an elder through the rape of the beautiful Gloriana. ’The Revenge of Bussy D’Ambois’ concerns the story of Clermont D’Ambois whose brother Bussy has been gunned down in an ambush. Clermont becomes involved in a relationship with Tamyra, Bussy’s former lover, who urges Clermont to take vengeance on her husband Montsurry, who is responsible for Bussy’s murder. In ’The Atheist’s Tragedy’ we find the story of D’Amville, a wealthy French nobleman and our titular atheist. D’Amville is a cynical, ruthless, and Machiavellian character who conspires to have his brother, the Baron Montferrers, killed and ruin his nephew, Charlemont, in order to gain the son’s inheritance.
