Zusammenfassung:"In this text, Arthur F. Kinney introduces students to Shakespeare's plays in the context of Elizabethan and Jacobean theater. He focuses on the material conditions of playing and of playgoing in order to show how they both inspired and restricted Shakespeare's art." "Subjects treated range from the venues where Shakespeare's plays were first performed, and the practicalities of the acting profession, to the composition of audiences, and the cultural and regulatory contexts in which companies of players operated. Each topic is discussed in relation to a diverse selection of Shakespeare's plays as well as contemporary documents, so that the plays and the theatrical world in which they were produced constantly illuminate one another. A core of twenty-two plays is considered in total."--BOOK JACKET.
