Volume 1 of The Cambridge History of British Theatre begins in
Roman Britain and ends with Charles II's restoration to the throne
imminent. The four essays in Part I treat pre-Elizabethan theatre,
the eight in Part II focus on the riches of the Elizabethan era,
and the seven in Part III on theatrical developments during and
after the reigns of James I and Charles I. The essays are written
for the general reader by leading British and American scholars,
who combine an interest in the written drama with an understanding
of the material conditions of the evolving professional theatre
which the drama helped to sustain, often enough against formidable
odds. The volume unfolds a story of enterprise, innovation and,
sometimes, of desperate survival over years in which theatre and
drama were necessarily embroiled in the politics of everyday life:
a vivid subject vividly presented.
