Description

Boisterous and unrestrained like the age itself the Elizabethan theatre has long defended its place at the apex of English dramatic history. Shakespeare was but the brightest star in this extraordinary galaxy of playwrights. The stage boasted a rich and varied repertoire from courtly and romantic comedy to domestic and high tragedy melodrama farce and histories. The Gassner-Green anthology revives the whole range of this universal stage offering us the unbounded theatrical inventiveness of the age.THElizabethan Drama is designed to provide the modern reader with complete access to the plays as well as the beguiling Elizabethan world which was their backdrop. John Gassner's classic introduction is supplemented by his and William Green's superb prefaces to the individual plays. Marginal glosses and footnotes throughout keep the immediacy of the Elizabethan stage within easy reach.
