This collection of essays studies the material, economic and
dramatic roles played by stage properties in early modern English
drama. Often, the received wisdom about the commercial stage in
Shakespeare's time is that it was a bare one, uncluttered by
objects. Staged Properties offers a critique of this view. The
volume offers valuable evidence and insight into the modes of
production, circulation and exchange that brought such properties
as sacred garments, household furnishings, pawned objects and even
false beards on to the stage. Departing from previous scholarship
which has mainly focused solely on the symbolic or iconographic
aspects of props, these essays explore their material dimensions,
and in particular, their status as a special form of property. The
volume reflects upon what the material history of stage props may
tell us about the changing demographics, modes of production and
consumption, and notions of property that contributed to the rise
of the commercial theatre in London.
