The purpose of this absorbing collection is to illuminate the world of the theatre by setting it squarely in its historical context. To that end; Professor Evans draws on the whole spectrum of Elizabethan-Jacobean writing; from official documents to diaries and letters. Part I; The Theatre and the World; deals; through contemporary writings; with the drama itself; the audiences and their responses; theatrical companies; acting and actors; and buildings and technical matters. Part II; The Worlds and the Theatre; illustrates how the problems of everyday life; complicated as they were by moral; religious; social; political; and economic issues; provided an ever-fruitful source of materials to the dramatists who practiced their craft during this extraordinarily creative period.
