The paratexts in early modern English playbooks - the materials to
be found primarily in their preliminary pages and end matter -
provide a rich source of information for scholars interested in
Shakespeare, Renaissance drama and the history of the book. In
addition, these materials offer valuable insights into the rise of
dramatic authorship in print, early modern attitudes towards
theatre, notorious literary wrangles and the production of drama
both on the stage and in the printing house. This unique two-volume
reference is the first to include all paratextual materials in
early modern English playbooks, from the emergence of print drama
to the closure of the theatres in 1642. The texts have been
transcribed from their original versions and presented in
old-spelling. With an introduction, user's guide, multiple indices
and a finding list, the editors provide a comprehensive overview of
seminal texts which have never before been fully transcribed,
annotated and cross-referenced.
