Produktbeschreibung

Locating the Queen's Men presents new and groundbreaking essays on the theatrical and economic contexts of this prominent acting company. Offering a detailed critical engagement that includes a repertory study and investigations into distinctive style, this collection revises standard accounts of Elizabethan theatre history, showing that the company, which bridged a gap between medieval dramatic traditions and the era of Shakespeare and Marlowe, was a vital force in early modern England.
