About the author
John Marston (1576–1634) was an English playwright and poet, and one of the most forceful satirists of Shakespeare's age. He was born near Coventry and died in London. His representative works include The Malcontent and The Dutch Courtesan, known for their sharp satire and dramatic tension. He engaged in the famous "War of the Theatres" with Ben Jonson, a significant event in the London theatre world of the time. In 1609 Marston entered the Church of England as a clergyman and gradually withdrew from playwriting. The library holds three volumes of his works, which provide primary texts for studying his plays and poetry; public information on his early education and detailed biography is limited.
