The focus of this work is to provide a comprehensive analysis of Massinger’s contributions to drama, alongside comparisons to his peers, while underscoring his unique stylistic and thematic elements. The opening of the book sets the stage for a detailed exploration of Philip Massinger's biography and his creative output. Cruickshank acknowledges the influence of his own experiences, particularly the impact of World War I on his motivation to write this scholarly work. He expresses a desire to elevate Massinger's status in the literary canon, often overshadowed by more celebrated contemporaries like Shakespeare, Marlowe, and Ben Jonson.
