Antonio and Mellida and Antonio's Revenge is a play written by John Marston in 1602. The play is a two-part revenge tragedy that follows the story of Antonio, a nobleman who falls in love with Mellida, the daughter of a duke. Mellida is betrothed to another man, but Antonio is determined to win her love. The first part of the play ends with Antonio and Mellida's marriage, but their happiness is short-lived as Antonio's enemies plot against him. In the second part of the play, Antonio seeks revenge against those who have wronged him, leading to a tragic and bloody conclusion. The play explores themes of love, jealousy, revenge, and power. Marston's writing is known for its complex characters and intricate plotting, and Antonio and Mellida and Antonio's Revenge are no exception. The play is a classic example of Elizabethan drama, with its use of poetic language, intricate wordplay, and dramatic action. This edition of the play was published in 1922 and includes an introduction and notes by the editor, Havelock Ellis. The introduction provides historical context and analysis of the play, while the notes offer explanations of difficult language and references. Overall, Antonio and Mellida and Antonio's Revenge is a compelling and thought-provoking play that continues to be studied and performed today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
