Offers a step in a new direction for the analysis of early modern drama. The collection contains strong and rich studies on the topics of reception, experience, and formal considerations ... The work contained in each essay will be valuable both to those interested in themes of time in Shakespeare's age, or to scholars looking for insights into the individual plays under discussion. * Early Theatre *
