In the following excerpt from his influential work, Schoenbaum provides afarranging survey of issues related to The Revenger's Tragedy, including possible historical influences on the play, Middleton's use of various literary conventions and techniques, and his style of versification.

In the following excerpt from a work originally published in 1960, Ornstein argues that The Revenger's Tragedy was in fact written by Tourneur; points out the playwright's fascination with the exotic and the erotic; and considers The Atheist's Tragedy a failure because the complexity of the subject matter was beyond Tourneur's artistic capabilities.

In the following essay, Robertson argues that in The Revenger's Tragedy there is a connection between misused sexuality and ill rule, and that Tourneur shows with his play that in a corrupt court that attacks chastity there can be neither virtue nor justice.

When analysing the conformity of a text to a certain genre, the conventions of that genre must be taken into account, to assess the way that the text fits into it, or differs from it. The composers of The Revenger's Tragedy and Medea have modified the typical revenge tragedy to suit their context, purpose and style of their plays.
