Hyde Park (1632) is one of the best-loved comedies of James
Shirley, considered to be one of the most important Caroline
dramatists. The play showcases strong female characters who excel
at rebuking the outlandish courtship of various suitors. Shirley's
comic setting, London's Hyde Park, offers ample opportunity for
witty dialogue and sport - including foot and horse races - across
three love plots. This is the first critical edition of the play,
including a wide-ranging introduction and extensive commentary and
textual notes. Paying special attention to the culture of Caroline
London and its stage, the Revels Plays edition unpicks Shirley's
politics of courtship and consent while also underlining the play's
dynamics of class and power. A detailed performance history traces
productions from 1632, across the Restoration to the present day,
including that of the Royal Shakespeare Company in 1987. A textual
history of the play's first quarto determines how it was printed
and what relationship Hyde Park has to other texts by Shirley from
the same publishers. -- .
