How could such a change occur? Kent Cartwright suggests that some theories of early Renaissance theatre - particularly the theory that Elizabethan plays are best seen in the tradition of morality drama - need to be reconsidered. He proposes instead that humanist drama of the sixteenth century is theatrically exciting - rather than literary, elitist and dull as it has often been seen - and socially significant, and he attempts to integrate popular and humanist values rather than setting them against each other. Taking as examples the plays of Marlowe, Heywood, Lyly and Greene, as well as many by lesser-known dramatists, the book demonstrates the contribution of humanist drama to the theatrical vitality of the sixteenth century. 517 3 $aTheatre & Humanism 606 $aEnglish drama$yEarly modern and Elizabethan, 1500-1600$xHistory and criticism 606 $aTheater$zEngland$xHistory$y16th century 606 $aRenaissance$zEngland 606 $aHumanists$zEngland 607 $aEngland$xIntellectual life$y16th century 615 0$aEnglish drama$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aTheater$xHistory 615 0$aRenaissance 615 0$aHumanists 676 $a822/.309 700 $aCartwright$b Kent$f1943-$0997040 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910455084703321 996 $aTheatre and humanism$92461029 997 $aUNINA
