Middleton and Mimetic Desire
View through CrossRef
AbstractThomas Middleton's reputation is at an interesting stage, no longer confined to conversations among academic specialists on early modern drama, but not yet in any settled place in a larger canon of authors whom literate people are meant to know about. This article seeks to contribute to the emergence of a mythic Middleton whom we know to turn to for some particular kind of excellence. This mythic Middleton is a theatre-poet especially good at catching the generation and power of what René Girard has taught us to call mimetic desire: a great poet, that is, of the social energies of rivalry, comic and tragic.
