Thomas Dekker (1572-1632) was an Elizabethan dramatist and pamphleteer, a versatile and prolific writer whose career spanned several decades and brought him into contact with many of the period''s most famous dramatists. He claimed credit for having written 240 plays. Close to twenty of his plays were published during his lifetime; of these, more than half are comedies, with three significant tragedies, Lust''s Dominion (presumably identical to The Spanish Moor''s Tragedy, written with Day, Marston, and William Haughton, 1600) The Witch of Edmonton (with Ford and Rowley, 1621), and The Virgin Martyr (with Massinger, 1620). Thomas Middleton (1580-1627) was an English Jacobean playwright and poet. He was one of the few Renaissance dramatists to achieve equal success in comedy and tragedy. Also a prolific writer of masques and pageants, he remains one of the most noteworthy and distinctive of Jacobean dramatists. Middleton wrote in many genres, including tragedy, history and city comedy.
