Thomas Kyd (c.1558-1594) was one of the most important figures in the development of Elizabethan drama. In this 1966 study, Philip Edwards explores Kyd's work in the context of Early Elizabethan Tragedy, arguing that The Spanish Tragedy is "more original, and greater, than Richard III".A volume in the Writers and Their Work series, which draws upon recent thinking in English studies to introduce writers and their contexts. Each volume includes biographical material, an examination of recent criticism, a bibliography and a reappraisal of a major work by the writer.
