This unique and comprehensive study examines how music affects
Shakespeareas plays and addresses the ways in which contemporary
audiences responded to it. David Lindley sets the musical scene of
Early Modern England, establishing the kinds of music heard in the
streets, the alehouses, private residences and the theatres of the
period and outlining the periodas theoretical understanding of
music. Focusing throughout on the plays as theatrical performances,
this work analyzes the ways Shakespeare explores and exploits the
conflicting perceptions of music at the time and its dramatic and
thematic potential.
