Edition/Format:  Print book : State or province government publication : EnglishView all editions and formats
Summary:
"Although all of Shakespeare's plays feature servants as characters, and many of these characters play prominent roles, surprisingly little attention has been paid to them or to the concept of service. A Place in the Story is the first book-length overview of the uses Shakespeare makes of servant-characters and the early modern concept of service."--Jacket.
