Zusammenfassung:Volume 7 contains four plays written between c. 1636 and 1639, The Constant Maid, The Doubtful Heir, The Gentleman of Venice and The Politician. The plays were probably staged in Ireland during Shirley's time as resident dramatist for the Werburgh Street Theatre in Dublin from 1636 to 1640, though they were not printed until his return to London in 1640 for The Constant Maid and in the 1650s for the others. Shirley's full generic range can been seen in this volume: The Constant Maid is a London-based comedy, The Doubtful Heir and The Gentleman of Venice are tragi-comedies set in Europe and The Politician draws on Hamlet for both its Scandinavian setting and its tragic genre.
