  Philip Massinger - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In the prologue Massinger ironically apologizes for his ignorance of history, and professes that his accuracy is at fault if his picture comes near "a late and sad example." The obvious "late and sad example" of a wandering prince could be no other than Charles I's brother-in-law, the elector palatine.
Massinger died suddenly at his house near the Globe Theatre, and was buried in the churchyard of St Saviour's, Southwark, on March 18 1640.
In Massinger's own judgment The Roman Actor was "the most perfect birth of his Minerva." It is a study of the tyrant Domitian, and of the results of despotic rule on the despot himself and his court.

The entry in the parish register of St. Savior's--"March 10, 1639, buried Philip Massinger, a stranger"--may mean only that he was not a resident in the parish; but it is sadly out of keeping with the dramatist's place in the estimation of posterity.

Among Massinger's young heroines in the position of patron are Camiola, the title character in The Maid of Honor, Donusa, the Tunisian princess in The Renegado, and Pulcheria, the Protector of the realm in The Emperor of the East.
Massinger's abhorrence of unresponsive domination is most apparent in his tragedies, not only The Roman Actor and Believe As You List, where it appears as tyranny, but in The Fatal Dowry (written with Nathan Field), where it appears in the father, who chooses a husband for his daughter without consulting her.

In Philip Massinger's The Renegado (1624), a romantic tragicomedy about impetuous love, the rescue of a captive maiden, and hairbreadth escapes, the hero begins the play disguised as a shopkeeper.
This conjunction of the everyday life of commerce with the exotic world of romance may surprise readers familiar with the proprieties of genre in the early seventeenth century when shopkeepers appeared mainly in satiric comedies, and romantic lovers mainly in tragicomedies and tragedies.
For the most part, Massinger did observe this decorum, writing about money matters in two comedies, A New Way to Pay Old Debts (1621-1625) and The City Madam (1632), and about romantic love mainly in eight extant tragicomedies (not to mention his collaborations with John Fletcher).

With the exception of the scholarly editions of his plays and a handful of essays on the better-known works, Philip Massinger's dramatic output has received very little critical attention in this century.

Four hundred years after his birth this book will show that the hitherto underrated Massinger was the chief dramatist for England's major theatrical company from the death of Fletcher until the closing of the theatres in 1642, and a theatrical poet of major importance.
