Amazon.com description: Product Description: A history of English drama incorporating postmodern theories of analysis by examining its subject in terms of "sites of meaning" rather than concentrating on authors or authorial intent. The 26 scholarly essays delve into the physical and social spaces of drama, viewing the English Church as a theatrical space, describing staging in universities, streets and markets, entertainments at court, the conditions of touring, audience response, and the literary production of plays in manuscript. Includes an index of plays. Paper edition (10243-7), $25. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
