The Spanish Tragedy was well known to sixteenth-century audiences, and its central
elements--a play-within-a-play and a ghost bent on revenge--are widely believed to
have influenced Shakespeare's Hamlet. This volume includes a generous selection of
supporting materials, among them Kyd's likely sources (Virgil, Jacques Yver, and the
anonymous "The Earl of Leicester Betrays His Own Servant"), Thomas Nashe's satiric
criticism of Kyd, Michel de Montaigne and Francis Bacon on revenge, and "The Ballad
of The Spanish Tragedy," which suggests the play's initial reception. "Criticism"
is thematically organized to provide readers with a clear sense of the play's major
themes. Contributors include Michael Hattaway, Jonas A. Barish, Donna B. Hamilton,
G.K. Hunter, Lorna Hutson, Molly Smith, J.R. Mulryne, T. McAlindon, and Andrew Sofer.
