Elizabethan domestic tragedies depicted the workings of Fortune in the lives of ordinary people, telling stories of sin, discovery, punishment and divine mercy, with their settings and characterization often enhanced by a highly entertaining blend of realism and sensationalism. Only some half-dozen survive to offset the dramas of kings and nobles in the tragedies of Shakespeare and his peers. They combined journalism and entertainment with a didactic concern, and their plots were often derived from contemporary events. Arden of Faversham (1592) and A Yorkshire Tragedy (1608) are both based on chronicles or pamphlets describing authentic murders, while A Woman Killed with Kindness (1603) by Thomas Heywood is a fictional creation, considered his masterpiece.

Thomas Heywood (1574?-1641), a professional English actor and one of the most prolific playwrights of the seventeenth century, is most famous for his plays written about contemporary English life. The Fair Maid of the West recalls typical Elizabethan bourgeois literature, but its primary relationship is with all adventure narratives regardless of their era. This romantic comedy features vivid pictures of English seaport life and travel to exotic locales by English sea captains. The plot is filled with pirate battles, a shipwreck, courageous adventures, and devoted love. If boredom is the perennial disability of men, adventure stories are the perennial therapy, operating as a restorative by encouraging an intermission in the ordinary powers and interests of the mind.

This text contains three plays on the subject of courtship and marriage by the Jacobean playwright Thomas Heywood, best known for his domestic drama A Woman Killed With Kindness. The varied relationships in these plays are explored against the vivid life of London's city and suburbs, the city and seashore of Marseilles, a friary and a country house.

Heywood's title-character, alternatively dismissed as a charlatan or cursed as an 'enchantress, sorceress and she-devil', outsmarts gullible citizens and rakish gentlemen alike in this exuberant city comedy, which winds its way through the colourful 'variety and rarity' of Cheapside and the Exchange to reach a festive conclusion in Hoxton. Cross-dressing and disguise add to the intrigue while drawing our attention to controversial issues of class conflict and female (in)subordination.
