David Bevington is Phyllis Fay Horton Professor in the Humanities at the University of Chicago
"Erne's chapter on The First Part of Hieronimo is undoubtedly the
most original ... but throughout there are fresh insights, the
product of close and intelligent reading of the texts, and the
shrewd interpretation of evidence. Erne ... has made an excellent
case for going, as his title proclaims "Beyond the Spanish
Tragedy," to set Kyd's achievement in a wider context."--David
Gunby, "Modern Language Review"
"I hope this excellent monograph, full of fresh research and
convincing new arguments, will prompt someone to invite Erne to
edit Kyd in order to replace Boas's edition, still the standard in
its centenary year."--Paul Dean, "English Studies"
"[Erne's] picture of a playwright preoccupied with the themes of
grief and loss radiating outwards from the dramatic epicentre of
"The Spanish Tragedy," is appealing."--Emma Smith, "The Times
Literary Supplement"
