  Thomas Middleton
In 1613 he devised the pageant for the installation of the Lord Mayor, Sir Thomas Middleton, and in the same year wrote an entertainment for the opening of the New River in honor of another Middleton.
It is doubtful whether Middleton was actually imprisoned, and in any case the king's anger was soon satisfied and the matter allowed to drop, on the plea that the piece had been seen and passed by the master of the revels, Sir Henry Herbert.
Middleton died at his house at Newington Butts, and was buried on the 4th of July 1627.

 [EMLS 8.3 (January, 2003]: 5.1-26 Realism, Desire and Reification: Thomas Middleton's A Chaste Maid in Cheapside   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
Characteristically, traditional literary criticism has read Thomas Middleton's comedies as quasi-naturalistic representations of the social changes engendered by the early modern processes of urbanisation, the decline of the aristocracy, the concomitant rise to economic and social power of the citizen classes of London and the transformations in moral and social norms that these brought about.
In Middleton's comedies, the rationale that sustains this distinction between "whore" and "wife" is turned into the subject of an irreverent scrutiny, in which both women's objectification and men's desire appear to be entirely overdetermined by the process of reification into which they are inserted.
By contrast, in Middleton's comedy the familial institution is undermined at its foundation by the crassly utilitarian interests with which it is associated - that is by the social construction of individual subjects as bearers of wealth to be appropriated through the sealing of the wedding contract.

Thomas Middleton (1580-1627) is the only contemporary of Shakespeare who created acknowledged masterpieces of both comedy and tragedy; he also wrote the greatest box-office hit of early modern London (the unique history play A Game at Chess).
Because Middleton is more representative than any of his contemporaries of the full range of textual practices in early modern England, his works provide an ideal focus for understanding the history of the book, and its relation to the larger history of culture, in this pivotal period.

 A Chaste Maid in Cheapside Summary & Essays - Thomas Middleton   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
Most scholars believe that Thomas Middleton's A Chaste Maid in Cheapside was first performed sometime between 1611 and 1613, although it was not published until 1630, when it was published in a quarto edition in England.
The chaste maid of the title would have been a joke for Middleton's audiences since Cheapside was infamous at the time for its prostitutes and other lascivious people, and a chaste maid would have been hard to find.
Middleton was born into London's prosperous middle class and had some exposure to most other classes as well.

 Thomas Dekker (c. 1570-1632)
From Dekker's plays we get a very lively impression of all that was picturesque and theatrically interesting in the city life of the time, the interiors of the shops and the houses, the tastes of the citizens and their wives, the tavern and tobacco-shop manners of the youthful aristocracy and their satellites.
The social student cannot afford to overlook Dekker; there is no other dramatist of that age, except Thomas Middleton, from whom we can get such a vivid picture of contemporary manners in London.
Still that Middleton, a man of little genius but of much practical talent and robust humour, was serviceable to Dekker in determining the form of the play may well be believed.

 “Y’are the deed’s creature”: Questioning Personal Autonomy in Thomas Middleton’s The Changeling
Characters in Thomas Middleton’s dramas mostly provide us with unique signifying types, private desires that are pursued within social rules and values, and, at the same time, self-presentations that affect their private values at the expense of public identity.
Middleton, indeed, vividly depicts the clash between differing private values in the ways that characters use their own agencies in a society they inhabit.
