This volume includes a generous selection of supporting materials, among them Kyd's likely sources (Virgil, Jacques Yver, and the anonymous \"The Earl of Leicester Betrays His Own Servant\"), Thomas Nashe's satiric criticism of Kyd, Michel de Montaigne and Francis Bacon on revenge, and \"The Ballad of \u003cem\u003eThe Spanish Tragedy\u003c\/em\u003e,\" which suggests the play's initial reception.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \"Criticism\" is thematically organized to provide readers with a clear sense of the play's major themes. Contributors include Michael Hattaway, Jonas A. Barish, Donna B. Hamilton, G. K. Hunter, Lorna Hutson, Molly Smith, J. R. Mulryne, T.
