These exchanges appear frequently in late-medieval drama and continue to be crucial stage strategies for Shakespeare, in whose work they grow and change. By examining a native dramatic tradition not fully explored before, Hill proposes new ways to imagine historical and contemporary performances. Stages and Playgoers will be invaluable for students of cultural studies, medieval and Renaissance studies, theatre history, and stagecraft.From guild plays to ShakespeareEnglish dramaEarly modern and Elizabethan, 1500-1600History and criticismMysteries and miracle-plays, EnglishHistory and criticismEnglish drama17th centuryHistory and criticismTheater audiencesEnglandHistory16th centuryTheater audiencesEnglandHistory17th centuryTheater audiencesEnglandHistoryTo 1500DramaTechniqueSoliloquyEnglish dramaHistory and criticism.Mysteries and miracle-plays, EnglishHistory and criticism.English dramaHistory and criticism.Theater audiencesHistoryTheater audiencesHistoryTheater audiencesHistoryDramaTechnique.Soliloquy.822/.045/09031Hill Janet1943-1545787MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910782079103321Stages and playgoers3800882UNINA
