In 1642 an ordinance closed the theatres of England. Critics and
historians have assumed that the edict was to be firm and
inviolate. Susan Wiseman challenges this assumption and argues that
the period 1640 to 1660 was not a gap in the production and
performance of drama nor a blank space between 'Renaissance drama'
and the 'Restoration stage'. Rather, throughout the period, writers
focused instead on a range of dramas with political perspectives,
from republican to royalist. This group included the short pamphlet
dramas of the 1640s and the texts produced by the writers of the
1650s, such as William Davenant, Margaret Cavendish and James
Shirley. In analysing the diverse forms of dramatic production of
the 1640s and 1650s, Wiseman reveals the political and generic
diversity produced by the changes in dramatic production, and
offers insights into the theatre of the Civil War.
