During the past quarter of a century, the study of
patronage-theatre relations in early modern England has developed
considerably. This, however, is an extensive, wide-ranging and
representative 2002 study of patronage as it relates to Shakespeare
and the theatrical culture of his time. Twelve distinguished
theatre historians address such questions as: What important
functions did patronage have for the theatre during this period?
How, in turn, did the theatre impact and represent patronage? Where
do paying spectators and purchasers of printed drama fit into the
discussion of patronage? The authors also show how patronage
practices changed and developed from the early Tudor period to the
years in which Shakespeare was the English theatre's leading
artist. This important book will appeal to scholars of Renaissance
social history as well as those who focus on Shakespeare and his
playwriting contemporaries.
