This book is about the size, the shape and the architectural nature
of the Globe playhouse of Shakespeare's time, the most important
theatre in English history. The design of the second Globe, and by
extension the first, has been a subject of keen debate for many
years, fostered by recurrent attempts to reconstruct the playhouse,
both in London and Detroit. Professor Orrell here offers fresh ways
of looking at some well-known documents and newer evidence. By
using detailed diagrams and seventeenth-century panoramas, the
author is able to establish the accuracy of Hollar's famous 'Long
View' of London, and by reconstructing his methods arrives at an
exact measurement of the diameter of the second Globe. These
findings document many advances in our hard knowledge of the
theatre buildings of Shakespeare's time, to the point where
reconstructions may be undertaken with confidence.
