Reviews
"“The virtue of Festive Enterprise is to situate famous plays from the era in a detailed historical context that helps to illuminate the achievement of Shakespeare and some of his better-known contemporaries. It’s a solid and significant contribution to the scholarship of medieval and Renaissance drama in England.” —Paul A. Cantor, author of Shakespeare’s Roman Trilogy Indeed, as an innovative, deeply detailed study of Renaissance drama's interrelation with pre-commercial economic practices, Festive Enterprise deserves much applause: it reveals the humanity and sense of community in the rise of theatrical commercialism. —Journal of British Studies ""Economically and precisely expressed, packed full of detail and useful information, and consistently lively and entertaining."" —The English Historical Review"
