'... this study will be of interest to scholars of seventeenth-century drama, legal history, and the intellectual history of England's evolution toward royalist and parliamentary polarization.' Seventeenth-Century News 'Staging Authority in Caroline England: Prerogative, Law and Order in Drama, 1625 -1642 is a welcome addition to the growing body of critical work devoted to Caroline drama. ... this book succeeds as a lively exploration of the ways in which Caroline playwrights turned questions of law and politics into character and narrative action.' Renaissance Quarterly 'Jessica Dyson's study on the professional stage's representation and negotiation of the royal prerogative during the Caroline period is a recent and valuable addition to the Law and Literature movement in early modern literary criticism.' Renaissance Studies
