Reseña del editor

Two women fight for their emotional survival in a rural wilderness dominated by men, money and an unbending morality. A startling domestic thriller written in 1603, A Woman Killed with Kindness strips bare two women's lives - with forensic realism - in one of the first tragedies ever to be written about ordinary people. Published alongside a major revival at the National Theatre, 2011.

Biografía del autor

THOMAS HEYWOOD was born in Lincolnshire in 1573. He attended Cambridge but left without a degree when his father died. He then moved to London where he became an actor and playwright. In the preface of his play The English Traveller (1623) he claims to have had 'either an entire hand, or at the least a main finger in over 220 plays.' Of this prolific output A Woman Killed With Kindness written in 1603 is considered his masterpiece and one of the first great domestic tragedies. His other notable plays include The Fair Maid of the West (1631) and The London Traveller (1633). In 1612 he famously wrote an Apology for Actors in defence of attacks against the theatre by the Puritans. He died in 1641
