Theatre, court and city, 1595-1610 : drama and social space in London

"This book explores the vital and interactive relationship between city and court in the drama of Shakespeare's time." "The book is organised around physical and social forms of theatre space. It ranges from analysis of well known plays, such as Shakespeare's Love's Labour's Lost and Jonson's Epicoene to lesser-known drama by Heywood and the newly discovered Jonsonian entertainment, Britain's Burse."--Jacket
