* William Rowley

In the 1610s, Middleton began his fruitful collaboration with the actor William Rowley, producing Wit at Several Weapons and A Fair Quarrel ; working alone he produced his comic masterpiece, A Chaste Maid in Cheapside, in 1613.

His best-known plays are the tragedies The Changeling ( written with William Rowley ) and Women Beware Women, and the cynically satirical city comedy A Chaste Maid in Cheapside.

Close to twenty of his plays were published during his lifetime ; of these, more than half are comedies, with three significant tragedies, Lust's Dominion ( presumably identical to The Spanish Moor's Tragedy, written with Day, Marston, and William Haughton, 1600 ) The Witch of Edmonton ( with Ford and Rowley, 1621 ), and The Virgin Martyr ( with Massinger, 1620 ).
