This book examines six plays by Shakespeare (Love's Labour's Lost,
Hamlet, As You Like It, Twelfth Night, The Winter's Tale, and The
Tempest) as dramatizations of the Renaissance court in its
developing history - a history searched by Shakespeare to disclose
its most characteristic gains and losses. For these plays do not
simply celebrate Tudor and Stuart rule: they scrutinize it too, in
the centre of its institutional theatre of power, the court. This
book shows how, if the plays came into the court, the court also
came into the plays, with its most salient features - its
competitiveness, its inner tensions and its contradictions, its
language, its cultural life and its entertainments - exposed to the
scrutiny of an art-form that proved itself to be a new mode of
historical understanding.
