Table of Contents

Contents: The book defines the malcontent in terms of his political activities and then creates a tripartite classification of malcontent types: the prince, the soldier, and the rogue. The book also contains historical background information addressing the political, sociological, and economic conditions that generated this character.

Reviews

Richly scholarly and handsomely written, this study is lively enough to grip the general reader. (Elton E. Smith, University of South Florida) James Keller's book is, as far as I am aware, the only study to distinguish clearly between two stock characters of the Renaissance drama, the Melancholiac and the Malcontent, as well as the only study attempting to categorize the plethora of Malcontents who strut and fret across the Elizabethan and Jacobean stages. (Sara Deats, University of South Florida)
