Shakespeare and Lost Plays returns Shakespeare's dramatic work to
its most immediate and (arguably) pivotal context; by situating it
alongside the hundreds of plays known to Shakespeare's original
audiences, but lost to us. David McInnis reassesses the value of
lost plays in relation to both the companies that originally
performed them, and to contemporary scholars of early modern drama.
This innovative study revisits key moments in Shakespeare's career
and the development of his company and, by prioritising the immense
volume of information we now possess about lost plays, provides a
richer, more accurate picture of dramatic activity than has
hitherto been possible. By considering a variety of ways to grapple
with the problem of lost, imperceptible, or ignored texts, this
volume presents a methodology for working with lacunae in archival
evidence and the distorting effect of Shakespeare-centric
narratives, thus reinterpreting our perception of the field of
early modern drama.
