Early modern playgoers were avid consumers of voyage drama. When
they entered the playhouse they engaged with the players in a
collaborative form of 'mind-travelling, ' and the result was an
experience of stage-travel that was predicated on pleasure. This
book investigates the pleasures of vicarious travel in early modern
England, treating playgoing as part of a playing system, wherein
imaginative work is distributed across the various participants:
playwright, player, the physical environment, technologies of the
stage, and emphatically in this study, the playgoer. Drawing on a
wide range of drama from across the entire seventeenth century,
including works by Marlowe, Heywood, Jonson, Brome, Davenant,
Dryden and Behn, it situates voyage drama in its historical and
intellectual context between the individual act of reading in early
modern England and the communal act of modern sightseeing
