Shakespeare's Theatre

By Ashley Horace Thorndike

Book Overview

Shakespeare's Theatre is a book written by Ashley H. Thorndike that provides an in-depth exploration of the theatrical world in which William Shakespeare lived and worked. The book is divided into several sections, each of which examines a different aspect of the Elizabethan and Jacobean theatre, including the design and construction of theatres, the actors and their performances, and the role of the audience in the theatrical experience. Throughout the book, Thorndike draws on a wide range of historical and literary sources to provide a detailed and nuanced picture of the theatre in Shakespeare's time. He explores the ways in which the physical space of the theatre influenced the performances and the audience's experience, and he delves into the social and political context in which the plays were written and performed. Shakespeare's Theatre is a comprehensive and authoritative guide to the world of Elizabethan and Jacobean theatre, and it offers valuable insights into the historical and cultural context of Shakespeare's plays. It is an essential resource for anyone interested in the history of theatre, Shakespearean studies, or Renaissance culture.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
