This collection offers a groundbreaking study of Thomas Heywood’s fascinatingly individual engagement with the classics across his writing career. It considers the wide diversity of genres to which he contributed, including dramas, translations, compendia, and iconographical designs, and attends to the shaping role of classics in his authorial self-fashioning and idiosyncratic aesthetic.
