''The Spanish Tragedy, or Hieronimo is Mad Again''〔https://archive.org/details/spanishtragedya00kydgoog〕 is an Elizabethan tragedy written by Thomas Kyd between 1582 and 1592. Highly popular and influential in its time, ''The Spanish Tragedy'' established a new genre in English theatre, the revenge play or revenge tragedy. Its plot contains several violent murders and includes as one of its characters a personification of Revenge. ''The Spanish Tragedy'' was often referred to (or parodied) in works written by other Elizabethan playwrights, including William Shakespeare, Ben Jonson, and Christopher Marlowe. Many elements of ''The Spanish Tragedy,'' such as the play-within-a-play used to trap a murderer and a ghost intent on vengeance, appear in Shakespeare's ''Hamlet.'' (Thomas Kyd is frequently proposed as the author of the hypothetical ''Ur-Hamlet'' that may have been one of Shakespeare's primary sources for ''Hamlet''.) ==Date== In the "Induction" to his play ''Bartholomew Fair'' (1614), Ben Jonson alludes to ''The Spanish Tragedy'' as being "five and twenty or thirty years" old. If taken literally, this would yield a date range of 1584–89 – a range that agrees with what else is known about the play. However, the exact date of composition is unknown, though it is speculated that it was written somewhere between 1583 and 1591. Most evidence points to a completion date before 1588, noting that the play makes no reference to the Spanish Armada, and because of possible allusions to the play in Nashe's ''Preface to Greene's Menaphon'' from 1589 and ''The Anatomie of Absurdity'' from 1588–89. Due to this evidence, the year 1587 remains the most likely year for completion of the play.〔J. R.
