The plays of Philip Massinger (1583-1640) have been at the centre of a recent re-evaluation of the politics of 17th century drama. In their own time, the plays contributed to contemporary arguments about appropriate dramatic language. In the 18th and early 19th centuries they were crucial to the rediscovery of Renaissance drama outside Shakespeare. During the Victorian period Massinger's plays gradually fell from grace, to be rediscovered by a new generation following T.S. Eliot's reappraisal in 1920.
