Elizabethan theatre - Genres
Genres of the period included the history play, which depicted English or European history. Shakespeare’s plays about the lives of kings, such as Richard III and Henry V belong to this category, as do Christopher Marlowe's Edward II.
Tragedy was a popular genre. Marlowe's tragedies were exceptionally popular, such as Dr Faustus and The Jew of Malta. The audiences particularly liked revenge dramas, such as Thomas Kyd’s The Spanish Tragedy. John Webster’s The Duchess of Malfi offers a parade of bloody cruelties.
Comedies were common, too. A subgenre developed in this period was the city comedy, which deal satirically with life in the city after the fashion of Roman New Comedy. Examples are Thomas Dekker's The Shoemaker's Holiday and Thomas Middleton's A Chaste Maid in Cheapside.
