• Sommario/riassunto: Hopkins argues the succession to the throne was a burning topic not only in the final years of Elizabeth but well into the 1630's, and drama, with its disguised identities and oblique relationship to reality, was a safe way to air it. Hopkins analyzes some of the ways in which plays-from Marlowe's and Shakespeare's to Webster's and Ford's-reflect, negotiate and dream the issue of the succession.
