Shakespeare's Dramatic Heritage shows that the drama of Elizabethan
and Jacobean England is deeply indebted to the religious drama of
the Middle Ages and represents a climax, in secular guise, to
mediaeval experiment and achievement rather than a new beginning.
This is fully examined in terms of dramatic literature as well as
in terms of theatres, stages and production conventions. The plays
studied include: Richard II, A Midsummer Night's Dream, Hamlet,
Macbeth, Coriolanus, The Winter's Tale and Marlowe's King Edward
II.

This set not only reissues Volumes 1, 2 (part I and II) and 3,
originally published by Routledge & Kegan Paul in 1958, 1963,
1972 and 1981, but also, for the first time, Volume 4 is being
produced to complete this fascinating and valuable set. Early
English Stages is a history of the development of dramatic
spectacle and stage convention in England from the beginning of the
fourteenth century to 1660. The volumes are available as a compete
set or individually, thereby offering the opportunity for owners of
the original three volumes to bring the set to its natural
conclusion. The final volume provides an overview of the rebirth of
drama within Christian society in Western Europe late in the 10th
Century AD; its subsequent development into ever-widening educative
and pleasurable productions throughout the next six centuries,
followed by a sudden eclipse provoked by constitutional crisis in
England culminating in the Civil War, which brought all acting in
England to an end for nearly twenty years.
This volume explores the professional English theatre from 1530 to
1660. The documents collected here, many published for the first
time, chronicle the exciting and flourishing world of the theatre
through the reigns of Henry VIII to Charles I. These exciting
primary sources offer first-hand accounts, including the daily life
and work of the actor, and the most complete coverage yet of all
the playhouses, both public and private, including the Rose, the
Globe, Red Lion and the Swan. The volume documents the various
theatre companies of children, costumes and stage property matters,
audience reception and behaviour, and ecclesiastical and
governmental legislation. A full linking narrative and extensive
bibliography detailing the location of the primary sources, provide
an important reference work and valuable research tool.
