Reviews
'Tom Rutter's book on the Admiral's Men and their repertoire does an admirable job of detailing the complementary relationships between London stage companies of the time.' Paul Innes, Modern Language Review '… a carefully deliberated set of studies, undogmatic, alert to fine detail and, therefore, quietly enriching.' John Jowett, Cahiers Élisabéthains '… offers a valuable contribution both to theatre history and to dramatic criticism …' Tracey Hill, Renaissance Studies 'By suggesting that Shakespeare was continually responding to theatrical development, Tom Rutter provides a layered and nuanced idea of what a Shakespearean 'source' - or equally a Shakespearean influence - might in fact be, and expands the field as a result …' Tiffany Stern, The Times Literary Supplement 'Rutter displays deep knowledge of the plays he discusses and of the scholarship that precedes him. His book, lucid and economical in style, introduces new perspectives on the plays and lays out numerous intertextual connections. The book will have a long shelf life as required reading for students and scholars of Renaissance drama …' Donna B. Hamilton, Early Theatre
