Originally published in 1923, this book presents a detailed study
of the development of English staging during the Renaissance, and
its relationship with the classical revival of stage decoration in
Italy. The text attempts to show how from the beginning of the
classical revival of drama in Italy, staging was regarded as an
accepted part of dramatic production, and how this led to the
formulation of definite practices of staging. These practices are
then presented as being directly influential upon English theatre,
prior to the Reformation by way of Italy and after the Reformation
by way of both Italy and France. Finally, the development of
English staging inspired by classical authority is presented as
finding its natural culmination in the formalism of the late
seventeenth century. This book will be of value to anyone with an
interest in the English Renaissance and the development of staging.
