Title:
Theatre Closure and the Paradoxical Rise of English Renaissance Drama in the Civil Wars
Author:
Craig, Heidi.
Type:
Book Monograph
Year:
2023
Publication Information:
Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2023. x + 246 pp.
Annotation:

Investigates publication, performance and reception of early modern drama during English Civil Wars and Interregnum, during English theater prohibition of 1642 to 1660. Examines sharp decline of full-length Shakespeare publication in 1640s and 1650s, arguing that, given absence of newly-written plays on stage, dramatic stationers focused on publishing "new" (that is, previously unprinted) plays, and Shakesepare's frequently-printed plays were too "old" to appel to novelty-obsessed stationers and consumers. Attends to Interregnum circulation of Shakespeare in abbreviated formats of drolls, commonplace books, and contemporary allusions to his works, characters and to Shakespeare as author.
