Even though Shakespeare openly dramatizes aristocratic shows in his
own plays, the circumstances of early modern performance at court
have received relatively little critical attention. With so much
written on the playwright's wide and multi-layered audiences, the
entertainment of the court itself has too long been dismissed as a
secondary issue. This book aims to shed fresh light on the multiple
aspects of Shakespearean performances at the Elizabethan and early
Stuart courts, considering all forms of drama, music, dance and
other entertainment. Taking the specific scenic environment and
material conditions of early modern performance into account, the
chapters examine both real and dramatized court shows in order to
break ground for new avenues of thought. The volume considers how
early modern court shows shaped dramatic writing and what they tell
us of the aesthetics and politics of the Tudor and Stuart regimes.
