This volume brings together three little-known works by key
playwrights from the late sixteenth-century golden age of English
drama. All three convey the public theatre's fascination with
travel and adventure through the popular genre of heroic romance,
while reflecting the contemporaries' wide range of responses to
cross-cultural contacts with the Muslim East and the Mediterranean
challenges posed by the Ottoman empire. The volume presents the
first modern-spelling editions of the three plays, with extensive
annotations catering for specialised scholars while also making the
texts accessible to students and theatre-goers. A detailed
introduction discusses issues of authorship, dates and sources, and
sets the plays in their historical and cultural contexts, offering
exciting insights on Elizabethan performance strategies, printing
practices, and the circulation of knowledge and stereotypes related
to ethnic and religious difference. -- .
