About This Book

This volume gathers anonymous dramatic pieces, masque texts, and descriptions of court receptions and entertainments, accompanied by critical notes on authorship, performance, and stagecraft. It provides transcriptions, variant editions, and commentary on individual plays, alongside plates and analyses of set designs and stage mechanisms, drawing on Serlio and Inigo Jones. Extensive appendices reproduce court calendars, payment records, censorship documents, plague and venue records, and indexes of plays, persons, places, and subjects to support research into production, reception, and cultural context.
