In this engaging text, Arthur F. Kinney introduces students to
Shakespeare's plays in the context of Elizabethan and Jacobean
theater. He focuses on the material conditions of playing and of
playgoing in order to show how they both inspired and restricted
Shakespeare's art. Subjects treated range from the venues where
Shakespeare's plays were first performed and the practicalities of
the acting profession to the composition of audiences and the
cultural and regulatory contexts in which companies of players
operated. Each topic is discussed in relation to a diverse
selection of Shakespeare's plays as well as contemporary documents,
so that the plays and the theatrical world in which they were
produced constantly illuminate one another. A core of 22 plays is
considered in total.
