This collection comprises five of his most powerful plays  from the comedies satirizing city life  A Trick to Catch the Old One and A Chaste Maid in Cheapside  to his later tragedies Women Beware Women and The Changeling  in which Middleton reveals a world dominated by the corrupting power of lust and subject to the futility of human pretensions. Also included is The Revengers Tragedy  originally ascribed to Cyril Tourneur  a Revenge Play infused with sardonic wit and biting irony.
