This book discovers within early modern revenge tragedy the surprising shaping presence of a wide array of classical philosophies not commonly affiliated with the genre.

Analyzes the twentieth-century development of revenge tragedy as a genre. Provides fresh readings of five plays central to the revenge tragedy genre, paying close attention to the conditioning influence of classical philosophy on their narratives of retribution. Reveals how revenge tragedy''s distinctive ''moods'' or ''atmospheres'' emerge from fully-realized sets of ontological assumptions which help shape reception of retribution on the early modern stage.
