"Discourses of the Theatre" examines the conflict over the stage in
Renaissance England and over what was perceived as the
proliferation of theatrical practices. After the first commercial
theatre was established in London in 1576, repeated attacks on the
stage and on actors, writers and audiences, made available a
language through which to condemn any practice deemed theatrical,
deceitful or disruptive of the social order. Drawing upon
materialist and feminist theory, Howard explores the ideological
function of this anti-theatrical discourse as well as the cultural
function of the stage. She challenges the view that the theatre was
primarily the servant of monarchical and aristocratic interest and
illustrates how new historicism has produced an incomplete picture
of early modern theatre.
