This edition, now available in paperback, constitutes an archive of
source materials in the field of Elizabethan and Jacobean theatre.
It is a collection of over one hundred wills left by those who
participated in the life of the theatre - from actors and
dramatists to carpenters and costumiers. The wills not only offer
vital historical evidence but are also important human documents,
testaments to the social, financial, religious and sentimental
lives of Shakespeare's contemporaries. Of the wills reprinted here,
one third were newly discovered, and many of the rest printed for
the first time from the original wills, thus preserving the
vacillations and abandoned intentions of the testators. -- .
