| Description: |
An anthology of four Elizabethan and Jacobean comedies in fully modernized and annotated texts, demonstrating the range and variety of English Renaissance comedy. Each play is prefaced by a brief introduction addressing issues of authorship, theatrical provenance and subsequent performance history. |
| Synopsis: |
This edition of four Renaissance comedies represents the vitality, range and diversity of the English comic drama of the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries, reflecting both its capacity for escapist fantasy and its concern with the intrigues of everyday city life. Comprehensive textual notes establish the plays in their originating cultural and theatrical circumstances, as well as explaining obscure references and allusions. A general introduction provides a helpful overview of early modern comedy in the context of Renaissance comic theory and practice, together with an assessment of its continuing theatrical appeal. |
