The Spanish Tragedie by Thomas Kyd
"The Spanish Tragedie" by Thomas Kyd is an Elizabethan tragedy written between 1582 and 1592. This groundbreaking work established the revenge play as a new genre in English theatre. The drama features violent murders, a personified character of Revenge itself, and a grief-stricken father seeking vengeance. Highly influential in its time, the play introduced elements later famous in Shakespeare's "Hamlet," including a play-within-a-play to trap a murderer and a ghost demanding revenge.
It became a popular hit across Europe and shaped Renaissance drama. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
