The book examines the life and works of the playwright Philip Massinger, a contemporary of Shakespeare and a key figure in the Elizabethan and Jacobean theatre. 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. The first part of the text briefly recounts Massinger’s life, his collaborations with other playwrights, and an overview of his most notable works, framing the playwright as a significant yet underappreciated figure in English literature.
