This introduction offers an overview of early English theatre from
the earliest recorded vernacular texts in the late medieval period
to the closing of the theatres in 1642. Where most existing studies
focus on one side or the other of an imaginary boundary between
'medieval' and 'early modern' or 'Renaissance' drama, this book
examines the theatre of nearly three centuries in a way that
highlights continuities as well as divisions. The study is
organised into five subject-based chapters: Place and space; Actors
and audiences; Writers, controllers and critics; Genre and
tradition; Instruction and spectacle. It includes full
chronologies, helpful text boxes and over twenty illustrations.
