In paired discussions of marriage plays by Shakespeare and Middleton, this book explores the maneuvers that marriageable characters deploy in order to control spousal choice and secure land. Investigation into the milieu of early modern inheritance laws enables a fresh reading of Shakespeare's and Middleton's marriage comedies.
