Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Philip Massinger was baptized at St. Thomas's in Salisbury on November 24th, 1583. Massinger is described in his matriculation entry at St. Alban Hall, Oxford (1602), as the son of a gentleman. His father, who had also been educated there, was a member of parliament, and attached to the household of Henry Herbert, 2nd Earl of Pembroke. The Earl was later seen as a potential patron for Massinger. He left Oxford in 1606 without a degree. His father had died in 1603, and accounts suggest that Massinger was left with no financial support this, together with rumours that he had converted to Catholicism, meant the next stage of his career needed to provide an income. Massinger went to London to make his living as a dramatist, but he is only recorded as author some fifteen years later, when The Virgin Martyr (1621) is given as the work of Massinger and Thomas Dekker. During those early years as a playwright he wrote for the Elizabethan stage entrepreneur, Philip Henslowe. It was a difficult existence. Poverty was always close and there was constant pleading for advance payments on forthcoming works merely to survive. After Henslowe died in 1616 Massinger and John Fletcher began to write primarily for the King's Men and Massinger would write regularly for them until his death. The tone of the dedications in later plays suggests evidence of his continued poverty. In the preface of The Maid of Honour (1632) he wrote, addressing Sir Francis Foljambe and Sir Thomas Bland: "I had not to this time subsisted, but that I was supported by your frequent courtesies and favours." The prologue to The Guardian (1633) refers to two unsuccessful plays and two years of silence, when the author feared he had lost popular favour although, from the little evidence that survives, it also seems he had involved some of his plays with political characters which would have cast shadows upon England's alliances. Philip Massinger died suddenly at his house near the Globe Theatre on March 17th, 1640. He was buried the next day in the churchyard of St. Saviour's, Southwark, on March 18th, 1640. In the entry in the parish register he is described as a "stranger," which, however, implies nothing more than that he belonged to another parish.

Book excerpt: The play is set in ancient Syracuse (though in typical Jacobean manner, Massinger gives his characters contemporaneous dress and manners: the ancient Syracusans wear ruffs around their necks and behave like Jacobeans). On the eve of a Carthaginian invasion, the citizens of the city have invited Timoleon from Corinth to command their defensive effort. Timoleon is welcomed by prominent Syracusans, including Archidamus, his son Timagoras, and his daughter Cleora. Leosthenes, a friend of Timagoras, is Cleora's suitor (though not her only one). In the play's early scenes, Massinger presents a picture of Syracuse as a deeply corrupt society. Cleon, a rich citizen, is a selfish glutton; the mature women are sexually rapacious, one even attempting to seduce her own stepson; and the city's slaves are badly abused. Members of the younger generation, however, are hungry for the reform that Timoleon's arrival promises. Leosthenes is a valiant but insecure and jealous young man; when he takes his leave of Cleora, he expresses his jealousy, and Cleora, resentful of his mistrust of her virtue, vows to wear a blindfold and to remain mute until Leosthenes returns from the war. Timoleon organizes the citizens' military forces and marches them out of the city -- and the city's slaves ready for revolt. They are led by Pisander, a gentleman from Thebes who is masquerading as Marullo, a slave in Archidamus's household. The ensuing slave revolt is managed by Pisander so that the citizens, while treated roughly, are not slaughtered; it turns out that Pisander's motive in starting the revolt is to further his own suit for Cleora's hand in marriage. Aided by Cleora's personal slave Timandra, Pisander pleads his suit to the blindfolded and mute Cleora, and so effectively that she is touched by his appeal. The forces under Timoleon are victorious over the Carthaginians; but when they march home in triumph, they find the slaves in charge of the city and the gates closed against them. Their assault on the city fails; but when the slaves venture out to attack them, the masters manage to terrify the slaves with their whips and overcome the resistance. Once they re-take the city, the Syracusans round up the rebellious slaves, including Pisander/Marullo; but Cleora causes a scandal by taking his part, against the vocal opposition of Leosthenes and Timagoras. In a trial before Timoleon, Cleora pleads her case, and Pisander reveals his true identity as a prominent, well-known, well-respected Theban noble; it is also revealed that Cleora's slave Timandra is actually Pisander's sister Statilia. Leosthenes had previously been engaged to marry Statilia, but had turned his back on her. In the play's denouement, Pisander and Cleora and Leosthenes and Statilia are united as couples, and the rebel slaves are re-absorbed into a more humanely ordered Syracusan society.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Moral Art of Philip Massinger views the successor of Shakespeare and Fletcher in a new sociopolitical position: one of accommodation based on a moderate reformation of the tradition of the old hierarchy of inherited degree, patriarchy, and patronage. In addition, author Ira Clark claims a superior aesthetic position for tragicomedy as a sophisticated, elaborate synthesis of dramatic conventions in complex multiple plots filled with reversals, recognitions, miraculous conversations, and reconciliations after clashes of absolutes. The genre's complex testing of characters, discovery of their failures, and reintegration of them into a reformed society focuses central sociopolitical and moral issues for an allegedly decadent but actually deeply troubled society. Finally, the study takes into its account Massinger's many collaborations with John Fletcher, which are generally ignored. In sum, this work attempts to revise obsolete views of the dominant playwright just before the closing of the theaters and the opening of the English Civil War." ""A Case for Massinger" presents a critical history of why Massinger is unappreciated, traces his life with an eye to his ideal of patronage and his emphasis on gratitude, and outlines the rest of the work. "Models for Massinger the Apprentice" focuses on the techniques of tragicomedy as Massinger learned them from his three masters. The Queen of Corinth, written with Fletcher, serves as an exemplum of what this master collaborator taught him about tragicomedy. The City Madam. which obviously alludes to Volpone, serves as an example of the traditions of the estates morality play, satiric style, and metadrama, which Jonson transmitted to Massinger. The Duke of Milan and The Emperor of the East, with motifs borrowed from Othello, serve as exempla of how Massinger used traditional dramatic allusions to present social issues." ""Massinger's Political Plays in their Time" focuses on the sociopolitical inclinations that Massinger consistently presented through his collaborations and solo plays. Primarily the issues revolved around the relative value of court and country, monarchism and parliamentary balance, hereditary degree and social mobility, and conspicuous consumption and martial maintenance. "Massinger's Tragedies and Satiric Tragicomedies in their Social and Family Settings" focuses on the social, family, and personal preferences that Massinger presented in his work: a concerned patriarchy, a greater voice for women, and the rights of inheritance by younger sons. "Massinger's Tragicomedy" circles around to view all of Massinger's artistic and sociopolitical themes by way of readings of a collaborative tragicomedy and a solo tragicomedy: The Elder Brother (with Fletcher) and The Guardian."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
