Shakespeare′s Theatre – A History

Autor R Dutton
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 8 mar 2018
Shakespeare's Theatre: A History examines the theatre spaces used by William Shakespeare, and explores these spaces in relation to the social and political framework of the Elizabethan era. The text journeys from the performing spaces of the provincial inns, guild halls and houses of the gentry of the Bard's early career, to the purpose-built outdoor playhouses of London, including the Globe, the Theatre, and the Curtain, and the royal courts of Elizabeth and James I. The author also discusses the players for whom Shakespeare wrote, and the positioning--or dispositioning--of audience members in relation to the stage. Widely and deeply researched, this fascinating volume is the first to draw on the most recent archaeological work on the remains of the Rose and the Globe, as well as continuing publications from the Records of Early English Drama project. The book also explores the contentious view that the 'plot' of The Seven Deadly Sins (part II), provides unprecedented insight into the working practices of Shakespeare's company and includes a complete and modernized version of the 'plot'. Throughout, the author relates the practicalities of early modern playing to the evolving systems of aristocratic patronage and royal licensing within which they developed Insightful and engaging, Shakespeare's Theatre is ideal reading for undergraduates, postgraduates, and scholars of literature and theatre studies.

Public țintă

This is a reference history survey of Shakespeare′s theatre, its origins and its evolution, from the Tudor peeriod through to the death of James I and events leading to the Civil War. It is intended for all those interested in Shakepseare, the Shakespearean stage, the cultural history of the theater in Shakespeare′s day, and in Renaissance drama. Written accessibly it will be an invaluable reference for upper level students, postgraduates, faculty, and Shakespeare scholars not expert in theatre history.
The strategy is to publish and market this as we have begun to publish and market the Blackwell History of Literature series, as a hardback initially for the library market, with a view to paperbacking, as we do with companions, for the upper level student market.

We have a great deal of presence in this area now: Shakespeare/Renaissance drama, and literature. So there will be a free marketing ride for this book.
