Reviews

'Angela Stock and Anne-Julia Zwierlein, two of the editors, offer an introduction which serves both as an astute summation of the theatrical and cultural significance of Jacobean comedy in London and as a rationale for the division of the twelve essays into symmetrical pairs... Angela Stock connects elite and popular theatrical forms in an illuminating new perspective, one that is admirably documented with historical detail... In thus offering fresh views on controversial issues, the volume editors set a high standard that is manifest throughout the essays in this important collection.' Renaissance Quarterly '... the contributors add substantially to our understanding of city comedy and its contemporary backgrounds, and this volume will be of interest to anyone working on Jacobean drama.' Modern Language Review
