Abstract

Early criticism of Middleton's A Game at Chess (1624) has been largely concerned with elucidation of the topical satire, and, although the literary aspects of the play have received more attention of late, the full implications of the work's irony have still to be worked out. Before attempting to analyze Middleton's complex use of irony in A Game at Chess, it is first necessary to discuss the nature of his central metaphor.
