Magnificent Middleton scholars, Middleton experts, and Middleton fans. It will overjoy them, since it's an exuberant performance from start to finish. Steve Donoghue, Open Letters Monthly

The Oxford Handbook of Thomas Middleton is by turns profoundly intelligent, brazenly provocative, and thoroughly engaging. It looks at a vast array of topics while remaining faithful to its fascinating subject. More important, it fulfils its editorial intention by stirring debate and challenging convention about the plays, the playing, the players, and the playwright. Patrick J.
