the text sets the stage for Marston's complex literary legacy, touching on his paradoxical relationship with contemporaries like Ben Jonson and the recitation of various plays that illustrate the depth of his satirical voice. In the introduction, the editor provides context about Marston's life and his struggles with themes of oblivion and self-identity within a vibrant theatrical landscape.
