While Shakespeare's popularity has continued to grow, so has the attention paid to
the work of his contemporaries. The contributors to this Companion introduce the distinctive
drama of these playwrights, from the court comedies of John Lyly to the works of Richard
Brome in the Caroline era. With chapters on a wide range of familiar and lesser-known
dramatists, including Thomas Kyd, Christopher Marlowe, Ben Jonson, John Webster, Thomas
Middleton and John Ford, this book devotes particular attention to their personal
and professional relationships, occupational rivalries and collaborations. Overturning
the popular misconception that Shakespeare wrote in isolation, it offers a new perspective
on the most impressive body of drama in the history of the English stage
