William Rowley was an English Jacobean dramatist, best known for works written in collaboration with more successful writers. His plays are characterized by their lively language and emphasis on comedic elements, often depicting the contrasts between different social strata. Rowley's characters are frequently humorous and energetic, reflecting his interest in folk theater and his ability to capture the spirit of his age. His style is marked by its vitality and direct engagement with the audience.
La pièce, un mélange de drame, de tragédie et de farce, est le résultat d'une collaboration entre W. Rowley (1585-1626), auteur de comédies, et T. Middleton (1580-1627), l'un des meilleurs dramaturges du théâtre anglais. Considérée comme l'un des chefs-d'oeuvre du théâtre élisabéthain, elle est une fine analyse de la perversité qu'implique des rapports sociaux où chacun ne pense qu'à soi.
