Más información sobre el libro

Middleton's life was marked by personal loss and professional controversy, beginning with his father's death when he was five. He became a prominent playwright in the early 17th century, known for his satirical works and partnerships, notably with Thomas Dekker and William Rowley. His acclaimed plays include "The Roaring Girl" and "A Chaste Maid in Cheapside." Notably, his allegory "A Game at Chess" faced censorship after just nine performances due to its political content. Middleton's career spanned various genres, and he was appointed London chronologer before his death in 1627.
