Newswise -- World-renowned Shakespeare scholar Gary Taylor, a professor at Florida State University, has co-edited the first complete collection of plays, poems and manuscripts by Thomas Middleton, a provocative, once-popular 17th-century playwright whose work was later banned or burned and overshadowed for centuries by the more famous English bard.
Now, Taylor is calling Middleton "our other Shakespeare" and critics are calling "Thomas Middleton: The Collected Works" epochal and monumental.
A definitive anthology 20 years in the making and painstakingly assembled from works scattered for nearly 400 years, Taylor's 2,016-page tour de force will be published in the United States on Jan. 22 by Oxford University Press.
Accompanying the "Collected Works" is a companion volume, "Thomas Middleton and Early Modern Textual Culture," for which Taylor also served as one of the two general editors. Contributors to the big books include a total of 75 scholars from 12 countries.%
