Medieval and Renaissance Drama in England (Medieval and Renaissance Drama in England, 23, Band 23) - Hardcover
Inhaltsangabe
Cerasano (literature, Colgate U., Hamilton, New York) introduces this journal of essays and reviews on drama and theater history prior to 1642. Six articles focus on topics including a case that Hamlet's "to be or not to be" speech was intended to be overheard by Claudius rather than be a soliloquy as represented by post-Renaissance editors. Authors also discuss the authorship of Arden of Faversham; aspects of Friar Bacon and Friar Bungay; the Fletcher-Massinger plays; Orlando as the period audience understood it; and illustrations in the Burden copy of The View of London from the North. Thirteen reviews treat topics including the influence of early modern dietary guides on Shakespeare's plays, theater economics, and male friendship. Distributed by Associated University Presses.
