Summary "The Works of John Marston. Volume 1" by John Marston is a collection of dramatic works written in the early 17th century. This volume includes notable plays such as "Antonio and Mellida," "Antonio's Revenge," and "The Malcontent," showcasing the playwright's unique blend of tragedy and satire. Marston's works offer a glimpse into the intricate character studies and societal critiques that were hallmarks of the Elizabethan drama. At the start of the collection, the text sets the stage for Marston's complex literary legacy, touching on his paradoxical relationship with contemporaries like Ben Jonson and the recitation of various plays that illustrate the depth of his satirical voice. In the introduction, the editor provides context about Marston's life and his struggles with themes of oblivion and self-identity within a vibrant theatrical landscape. This opening furthers the reader's understanding of Marston as a significant figure whose plays delve into human emotions, moral dilemmas, and the often turbulent political and social context of his time.
