This book throws new light on the complexity and variety of
practices which may be defined as 'theatrical' in a broad sense in
sixteenth- and seventeenth-century English drama. The volume deals
first with the mainstream of dramatic production, starting from the
anti-theatrical debate which characterized the whole period and
increased in intensity as it went on. Here Shakespeare and Ben
Jonson come on stage with their rejoinders to this issue. At the
same time, while the universities were offering a kind of theatre
workshop importing Latin and Italian models, popular performances
were being staged in non-theatrical spaces. Tournaments, and their
aristocratic codes, are explored as well as more popular and
'marginal' spectacles -- such as those of conny-catching
improvisers, jugglers, gypsy dancers and fortune-tellers, clowns
and prophetesses.
