Besides providing readings of plays such as Hamlet, Othello, Merchant of Venice, and Titus Andronicus, it also places Shakespeare emphatically within his own theatrical context, and focuses on the relationship between the demanding repertory system of the time and the conventions and content of the plays. Lopez argues that the limitations of the relatively bare stage and non-naturalistic mode of early modern theatre would have made the potential for failure very great, and he proposes that understanding this potential for failure is crucial for understanding the way in which the drama succeeded on stage. The book offers perspectives on familiar conventions such as the pun, the aside and the expository speech; and it works toward a definition of early modern theatrical genres based on the relationship between these well-known conventions and the incoherent experience of early modern theatrical narratives. 517 3 $aTheatrical Convention & Audience Response in Early Modern Drama 606 $aEnglish drama$yEarly modern and Elizabethan, 1500-1600$xHistory and criticism 606 $aTheater audiences$zEngland$xHistory$y16th century 606 $aTheater audiences$zEngland$xHistory$y17th century 606 $aEnglish drama$y17th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aTheater$zEngland$xHistory$y16th century 606 $aTheater$zEngland$xHistory$y17th century 615 0$aEnglish drama$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aTheater audiences$xHistory 615 0$aTheater audiences$xHistory 615 0$aEnglish drama$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aTheater$xHistory 615 0$aTheater$xHistory 676 $a822/.309 700 $aLopez$b Jeremy$01052408 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910450022903321 996 $aTheatrical convention and audience response in early modern drama$92483657 997 $aUNINA
