This study explores the Stuart history play, a genre often viewed
as an inferior or degenerate version of the exemplary Elizabethan
dramatic form. Writing in the shadow of Marlowe and Shakespeare,
Stuart playwrights have traditionally been evaluated through the
aesthetic assumptions and political concerns of the sixteenth
century. Ivo Kamps's study traces the development of Jacobean drama
in the radically changed literary and political environment of the
seventeenth century. He shows how historiographical developments in
this period materially affected the structure of the history play.
As audiences became increasingly skeptical of the comparatively
simple teleological narratives of the Tudor era, a demand for new
ways of staging history emerged. Kamps demonstrates how Stuart
drama capitalized on this new awareness of historical narrative to
undermine inherited forms of literary and political authority.
Historiography and ideology in Stuart drama is the first sustained
attempt to account for a neglected genre, and a sophisticated
reading of the relationship between literature, history, and
political power.
