First published in 1998, this volume explores the period 1585-1649,
identifying it as rich in innovative drama which challenged the
boundaries between social, political and cultural activities of
various kinds. Molly Smith examines ways in which texts by
Renaissance authors reflect, question and influence their society's
ideological concerns. In the drama of Kyd, Shakespeare, Beaumont
and Fletcher, Webster, Middleton, Massinger and Ford, she
identifies the simultaneously serious and playful appropriation of
popular cultural practices, an appropriation which is expertly
reversed by authorities in the political drama of Charles I's
public trial and execution in 1649. This compelling interpretation
of Renaissance drama will prove of value to students of literature
and social history.
