This book corrects that imbalance with an unparalleled study of the early history of drama and performance in Ireland, from the seventh century through the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, and ending on the eve of the arrival of Oliver Cromwell. The work of professional entertainers is discussed, as is that of amateurs, in theatricals sponsored by churches, guilds, civic authorities, and aristocratic patrons."--Jacket.Studies in early English drama ;6TheaterIrelandHistoryTheaterIrelandDublinHistoryIrish dramaHistory and criticismIrlandgndIrelandDublinfastIrelandfastLivres numeriques.History.Criticism, interpretation, etc.e-books.Electronic books.
