How does our understanding of early modern performance, culture and
identity change when we decentre Shakespeare? And how might a more
inclusive approach to early modern drama help enable students to
discuss a range of issues, including race and gender, in more
productive ways? Underpinned by these questions, this collection
offers a wide-ranging, authoritative guide to research on drama in
Shakespeare's England, mapping the variety of approaches to the
context and work of Shakespeare and his contemporaries. By paying
attention to repertory, performance in and beyond playhouses, modes
of performance, and lost and less-studied plays, the handbook
reshapes our critical narratives about early modern drama. Chapters
explore early modern drama through a range of cultural contexts and
approaches, from material culture and emotion studies to early
modern race work and new directions in disability and trans
studies, as well as contemporary performance. Running through the
collection is a shared focus on contemporary concerns, with
contributors exploring how race, religion, environment, gender and
sexuality animate 16th- and 17th-century drama and, crucially, the
questions we bring to our study, teaching and research of it. The
volume includes a ground-breaking assessment of the chronology of
early modern drama, a survey of resources and an annotated
bibliography to assist researchers as they pursue their own avenues
of inquiry. Combining original research with an account of the
current state of play, The Arden Handbook of Shakespeare and Early
Modern Drama will be an invaluable resource both for experienced
scholars and for those beginning work in the field.
