English Court Theatre, 1558-1642Cambridge University Press, 2.11.2006 - 308 sivua Several famous playwrights of the Elizabethan and Stuart periods, including Shakespeare, wrote for open-air public theatres and also for the private, indoor theatres at the palaces at which the Court resided. The author draws as full a picture as he can of the royal theatres used as courts, the physical and aesthetic conditions under which actors worked in them, and the composition and conduct of court audiences. The book includes an appendix which lists all known court performances of plays and masques between 1558 and 1652. |
