Though little is known about Shakespeare's Elizabethan audience it
has been a constantly recurring theme in Shakespeare criticism and
research. While notions of theatre-goers in the early modern age
differ widely, they have been repeatedly drawn upon as an
explanatory factor. The dramas are said to display certain features
because the audiences paying to see them wanted things to be that
way. This study demonstrates that, in fact, the various images of
Shakespeare's original audience upheld in the course of subsequent
ages can be explained in terms of the features obtaining at the
respective time. Shakespeare's Elizabethan audience is a decisive
factor in the constitution and maintenance of his cultural
prestige.
