"The Complete Plays of Robert Greene" edited by Thomas H. Dickinson is a collection of plays written during the late 16th century. This volume showcases the works of Robert Greene, a prominent figure in Elizabethan drama, whose life and writings reflect the complexity of his time and the evolution of English theater. The plays included are characterized by a blend of romanticism, morality, and satire, reflecting Greene's unique perspective on life, society, and the emerging form of English drama. The opening of the collection provides a detailed introduction to Greene’s life and his significance in the context of the Elizabethan era. It addresses the misunderstandings surrounding his reputation, emphasizing his contributions to the development of drama as an art form distinct from mere didactic storytelling. The introductory section discusses Greene's interactions with contemporary playwrights like Marlowe and Shakespeare, as well as the moral themes present in his works. Greene’s struggle with personal vices and societal criticism adds a layer of depth to his plays, offering readers not only tales of intrigue and adventure but also insightful reflections on human nature and the moral fabric of society.
