{"product_id":"a-woman-killed-with-kindness-thomas-heywood-9780192829504","title":"A Woman Killed with Kindness and Other Domestic Plays","description":"Here is a marvelous collection of plays from the English Renaissance period, offering prime examples of the \"domestic drama\" genre that first appeared around 1590. These four pioneering works, set in near-contemporary England and concerned with issues of marriage and crime rather than war and power, focus on the lives of ordinary people, instead of kings and queens and politicians. \u003cem\u003eArden\u003c\/em\u003e dramatizes a notorious murder case of forty years earlier, in which a wealthy husband was killed by his wife and her lover. In \u003cem\u003eA Woman Killed with Kindness\u003c\/em\u003e, a wife is caught by her husband in bed with his best friend. \u003cem\u003eThe Witch of Edmonton\u003c\/em\u003e combines a true-life story of witchcraft with a fictitious tale of bigamy and wife-murder, and \u003cem\u003eThe English Traveller\u003c\/em\u003e deals with the unexpected changes people find when they return home after a lengthy absence. Part of the Oxford English Drama series, this edition has modern-spelling, critical introductions, wide-ranging notes, a chronology of the plays, and appendices that address the question: who wrote \u003cem\u003eArden of Faversham\u003c\/em\u003e and when did Thomas Heywood write \u003cem\u003eThe English Traveller\u003c\/em\u003e. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Series: \u003c\/strong\u003e For over 100 years \u003cstrong\u003eOxford World's Classics\u003c\/strong\u003e has made available the broadest spectrum of literature from around the globe.
