Publisher Synopsis
'At last, the book early theater historians have been waiting for ... Janette Dillon's thoroughly new overview, one that sets the record straight about the nature, scope, cultural meanings, and significance of early performances ... This book deserves a spot front and center on the shelf of every scholar of early theater, and it should be in the hands of all serious students and of the general reader as well.' Clare Sponsler, Shakespeare Quarterly 'Where this volume deserves the attention of drama teachers is the careful way in which it deals with performance spaces, actors and audiences.' The Times Literary Supplement 'With intelligent organisation, cogent case studies and easy-access quotation boxes, Janette Dillon cooly serves up a very useful introduction to over 300 years of English drama ...'
