"Modern for the Times": Lording Barry, Christopher Marlowe, and Ovid
Abstract:The recent attribution of The Family of Love solely to Lording Barry invites a repositioning of the playwright within his dramatic milieu, especially to his contemporaries and to the early modern comic tradition. His use of Christopher Marlowe's Ovid shapes our understanding of his forerunner's reception in the early seventeenth century. Such an act of imitation suggests a type of kinship between the poets and, to some extent, validates the idea of Marlowe as influence on the creation of city comedy, for we can credit Barry as the first to employ Hero and Leander for comic effect in dramatic form, a recognition oftentimes attributed to Ben Jonson.

SEL is well known for thecommissioned omnibus review of recent studies in the field that is included in each issue. In a single volume, readers might find an argument for attributing a previously unknown work to Shakespeare or de-attributing a famous work from Milton, a study ofthe connections between class and genre in the Restoration Theater.
