Art Imitates Business: Commercial and Political Influences in Elizabethan Theatre

Első borító
Popular Press, 1993 - 298 oldal
As it moved away from the court, theater became an entertainment business, subject to financial and political influences. This study examines business and political considerations as a way of explaining some of the curiosities about 16th-century plays which production and literary analyses cannot fully explain.
