The book reignites the fascination with Philip Massinger, one of the most accomplished professional playwrights of the post-Shakespearean era who faced relative neglect. It presents the first comprehensive exploration of Italy's significant influence on Massinger's works, offering fresh perspectives on the playwright period. By examining his plays from a different angle, the book delves into the playwright's intellectual life, shedding light on his contributions to revitalizing the ambivalent myth of Italy. Through the lens of intertheatricality, the book unveils the intricate and nuanced web of interconnectedness between Massinger's plays and the works of his contemporaries, particularly those set in Italy. This insightful study not only enhances our understanding of Massinger's literary contributions but also sheds light on the broader cultural and theatrical landscape of his time.
