   Extractions: Although most people attribute the "revenge tragedy" to Shakespeare and other Elizabethan playwrights, Thomas Kyd was the originator of the revenge play. Thomas Kyd was born on November 6, 1558. He befriended another contemporary playwright during the Elizabethan period, Christopher Marlowe, who had a tremendous influence on his work. The two playwrights were interested in writing for the public stage, instead of fiction to be published in books (Roberts). During the 1580's Thomas and Kyd along with John Lyly and Robert Greene formed a group known as "The University Wits"(Roberts). The group's primary interest was in writing plays that would be performed before English audiences. They were among the first "writer's club" or organization of that time. Shakespeare joined a similar "troupe" of writers and actors that traveled and performed their plays before audiences, but "The University Wits" were the earliest of their kind. Many magnificent works emerged during this time for the writers of "The University Wits". Thomas Kyd wrote the Spanish Tragedy, which is considered to be the first of the English Renaissance "revenge-plays" (Roberts), including Hamlet. The Spanish Tragedy was one of the most popular plays of the seventeenth century and many imitations soon followed. In fact, Shakespeare and Marlowe are believed to be copiers of Kyd's original revenge tragedy. The English loved these revenge tragedies, although many critics suggest that they did not fully understand the context in each, and the Spanish Tragedy written by Kyd is still being performed today.

   Extractions: Book: Chapter: From the edition of 1615. Reproduced in Shakespeare's England One of the most popular plays of the whole period covered by Shakespeare's career was The Spanish Tragedy, probably by Thomas Kyd* . Kyd startles with spectacular stage devices adopted from Senecan drama: There is a ghost which urges on the figure of Revenge, in a manner roughly similar to the beginning of Seneca's Thyestes, where the ghost of Tantalus and a Fury exclaim upon the horrific doom which is about to destroy Tantalus' family. . . There is tragic irony in abundance, particularly in the final scene where the King of Spain and the Viceroy of Portugal witness a play-within-the-play ( The Spanish Tragedy was written before A Midsummer Night's Dream or Hamlet ); the onlookers think that the acting of their nephew and son is particularly good in their deaths, but discover that the stabbings are in earnest. There are other Senecan horrors, the only real difference being that in Kyd's play they take place on stage rather than being reported by the nuntius ("messenger").

Thomas Kyd (1558-1594) was a British playwright. He had no academic background. He was closely associated with Christopher Marlowe , with whom he shared lodgings in 1591. The Spanish Tragedy: or, Hieronimo is Mad Again (1592) was published anonymously, and it gained immense popularity. The play introduced a new kind of central character, an obsessive plotter, and it set a the pattern which later revenge-plays followed. See also the The Count of Monte Cristo The play contains extensions: Ben Jonson is known to have been paid for the additions, but the additonal passages in the 1602 edition do not seem Jonsonian. The alternative title was was given to it in 1615. Kyd is believed to have written a lost Hamlet

   Extractions: Created by Timothy Harris (AKA Hyde Harris) THOMAS KYD is a Los Angeles P.I. of "high principles and low assets" who appeared in two very good private eye novels in the seventies. He's a Vietnam vet and young widower, a fallen liberal, and a guy just trying to hold on, and he does it all in a fashion that may seem familiar: At one point, Harris, who made no secret of his ambitions to follow in Chandler's footsteps, was being bandied about in the same breath as contemporaries like Greenleaf and Estleman. His second novel, Goodnight and Good-bye , is particularly recommended. But he seems to have got lost somewhere down the line, and instead went into film. He also wrote novelizations of films such as Steelyard Blues American Gigalo and Heat Wave Heat Wave 's of particular interest, because it's a pretty decent P.I. story itself, although it doesn't really have a P.I. in it. The original screenplay was by Herschel Weingrod, who became a screenwriting collaborator with Harris. Their joint efforts have produced Cheaper To Keep Her , a P.I. flick starring Mac Davis as

   Extractions: The dramatic reputation of Thomas Kyd (1558-94) rests upon his only surviving play, The Spanish Tragedy (written between 1582 and 1592) although he may have written other plays, including an early version of Hamlet. The Spanish Tragedy, an early revenge tragedy, features a ghost, madness, plays within the play, thundering rhetoric, and a blood-and-guts conclusion. It was extremely popular, and greatly influenced Shakespeare and other later dramatists. Back to Playwrights

   Extractions: An introduction and list of his (2!) plays. Thomas Kyd Born in 1558, Thomas Kyd was educated at the Merchant Taylors School in London. Although the details of Kyd's life are obscure, it is known that he shared a room with another playwright, Christopher Marlowe . Not as poetic as Marlowe, Kyd's brilliance came from his understanding of the requirements of the stage and his instinctive grasp of the tragic form. Ben Jonson called him the "sporting Kyd," and it is believed that by 1589 he had written a lost Hamlet sometimes referred to as the Ur-Hamlet which was probably the model for Shakespeare's tragedy. Kyd's best known play, The Spanish Tragedy (1589), was nothing less than the most popular and influential tragedy of Elizabethan times. Inspired by the tragedies of Seneca , it tells the story of Horatio, the only son of the marshal of Spain, who falls in love with the beautiful Belimperia but is murdered by the Prince of Portugal and by Belimperia's brother Lorenzo who wants her to marry the Prince. Before she is whisked away by her brother, Belimperia manages to send Horatio's grief-stricken father a letter using her own blood for ink, and the old man soon sets out to avenge his son's death, feigning madnesslike Hamletto avoid suspicion. In its day, The Spanish Tragedy was even more popular than Shakespeare's plays, and it continued to be performed throughout the Elizabethan period.

    Extractions: Why did Kyd risk public censure and official punishment by having two of his characters meet their demises at the end of a rope? It is precisely because the noose is a symbol of temporal justice, and Kyd wishes to demonstrate just how fickle such justice is when placed alongside the cosmic. Both hangings in the play are perverse, Horatio's because it is a murder rationalized by a contrived social order, and Pedringano's because it is state justice wrongly applied. The murder of Horatio in the arbor is abhorrent and terrible, but it is also quizzical. He is hanged and stabbed by Lorenzo, Balthazar, Pedringano, and Serberine. It seems that stabbing him would be not only sufficient but more expedient to the killers than what must be the arduous task of subduing him and hauling him up on the tree branch, a curious way to kill a man unless one considers that Lorenzo and Balthazar are making a point. Horatio is the son of Hieronimo, the Knight Marshal, functionally a civil servant; Lorenzo is the son of the Duke of Castile, and Balthazar the Prince of Portugal. Early on in the play, the King of Spain notes the difference in portfolio: But nephew, thou shalt have the prince in guard, For thine estate best fitteth such a guest: Horatio's house were small for all his train. (I. ii. 185- 7)

    Extractions: blasphemies “ of Marlowe came before the notice of the Star Chamber, Kyd was immediately arrested, papers of his having been found “shuffled “ with some of Marlowe’s, who was imprisoned a week later. A visitation on Kyd’s papers was made in consequence of his having attached a seditious libel to the wall of the Dutch churchyard in Austin Friars. Of this he was innocent, but there was found in his chamber a paper of “vile heretical conceits denying the deity of Jesus Christ.” Kyd was arrested and put to the torture in Bridewell. He asserted that he knew nothing of this document and tried to shift the responsibility of it upon Marlowe, but he was kept in prison until after the death of that poet (June 1, 1593). When he was at length dismissed, his patron refused to take hun back into his service. He fell into utter destitution, and sank under the weight of” bitter times and privy broken passions.” He must have died late in 1594, and on the 3oth of December of that year his parents renounced their administration of the goods of their deceased son, in a document of great importance discovered by Professor Schick. Kyd’s works were first collected and his life written by Professor F. S. Boos in 1901. Of modern editions of The Spanish Tragedy may be mentioned that by Professor J. M. Manly in Specimens of the Pre-Shaliespearean Drama, vol. ii. (Boston, 1897), and by J. Schick in the Temple Dramatists (1898). See also Cornelia (ed. H. Gassner, 1894); C. Markscheffel, T.

Kyd is believed by some scholars to be the author of an earlier version of Hamlet, which Shakespeare used as the basis of his play. In 1593, Kyd was accused of holding unorthodox religious and moral views; he was arrested and subjected to torture. Although he extricated himself by implicating his friend Christopher Marlowe, his reputation was severely marred, and he died in poverty the following year. See studies by A. Freeman (1967) and C. L.
