The Changeling by Thomas Middleton, William Rowley (3rd Edition)
Requirements: ePUB Reader, 3.6MB
Overview: “The next good mood I find my father in, I’ll get him quite discarded”
With these chillingly offhand words, Beatrice-Joanna, the spoilt daughter of a powerful nobleman, plots to get rid of the family servant who has crossed her once too often. The Changeling remains one of the most compelling tragedies from the 17th century. Exposing the vexed relationship between servants and masters, setting notions of change’ against the revelation of psychological ‘secrets’ as ways of explaining human behaviour, and exploring the idea of love as atame madness’, the play reveals the terrifying consequences of ungoverned sexual appetite and betrayal. Despite its seemingly domestic focus, The Changeling has much to reveal about the gathering social and political tensions that were to plunge England into a destructive civil war within twenty years of its first performance.
This new student edition contains a lengthy new Introduction with background on the authors, date and sources, theme, critical interpretation and stage history.
