Written during the First World War, this study surveys the plays of Philip Massinger, author of A New Way to Pay Old Debts: his plots, characters, verse and stagecraft, his moral and political outlook, and his place among the dramatists who followed Shakespeare. Appendices treat the boy actors in his plays, the collaborated plays and Shakespeare’s influence.
