Not illustrated. 1912 edition. Excerpt: ... showing the interplay of life, there were increased demands for drama and more need of the poet or dramatist, even in embryo. Masques and pageants, the joy of her father's courtt though not at once discarded, rapidly diminished. During the first two years, masques were predominant.1 Thereafter, interludes and plays were requisitioned in increasing number. Herein, too, consonant with her love for dialogue, her well-known parsimony figured not a little, tending to eliminate expensive shows and to cultivate instead the less expensive and more delectable entertainment of dramatic performances. Her passion for drama was supplied at first by laureating Edwards, Farrant, and Hunnis with special privileges of presenting plays before her by the Court children, and by drawing upon the dramatic resources of Sebastian Westcott with the children of Paul's. Year by year these companies appeared before her. Still not even their increased numbers fully supplied the demands. Occasionally, even in her early years, she invited a company of men actors under patronage of some favorite lord. In 1564 were added the children of Westminster who appeared 1 See Table, infra, 199--200. occasionally thereafter, then in 1572--73 the Merchant Taylor's and the boys of Eton.1 The children of the Court were still the centre of dramatic activity and set the fashion on the basis of Court taste which all the other companies consequently followed. During the first fifteen years, up to 1573, the plays at Court were almost wholly by them and the other children companies who bent their old school drama out of recognition in deference to the demands of the royal audience for mere entertainment. Only eight times in that period did companies of men appear.2 Then, simultaneously...

DOWNLOAD EBOOKEnglish Drama before Shakespeare surveys the range of dramatic activity in English up to 1590. The book challenges the traditional divisions between Medieval and Renaissance literature by showing that there was much continuity throughout this period, in spite of many innovations. The range of dramatic activity includes well-known features such as mystery cycles and the interludes, as well as comedy and tragedy. Para-dramatic activity such as the liturgical drama, royal entries and localised or parish drama is also covered. Many of the plays considered are anonymous, but a coherent, biographical view can be taken of the work of known dramatists such as John Heywood, John Bale, and Christopher Marlowe. Peter Happé's study is based upon close reading of selected plays, especially from the mystery cycles and such Elizabethan works as Thomas Kyd's The Spanish Tragedy. It takes account of contemporary research into dramatic form, performance (including some important recent revivals), dramatic sites and early theatre buildings, and the nature of early dramatic texts. Recent changes in outlook generated by the publication of the written records of early drama form part of the book's focus. There is an extensive bibliography covering social and political background, the lives and works of individual authors, and the development of theatrical ideas through the period. The book is aimed at undergraduates, as well as offering an overview for more advanced students and researchers in drama and in related fields of literature and cultural studies.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKA collection of essays which show how early drama traditions were transformed, recycled, re-used and reformed across time to form new relationships with their audiences. Medieval afterlives brings new insight to the ways in which peoples in the sixteenth century understood, manipulated and responded to the history of their performance spaces, stage technologies, characterisation and popular dramatic tropes. In doing so, this volume advocates for a new understanding of sixteenth-seventeenth century theatre makers as highly aware of the medieval traditions that formed their performance practices, and audiences who recognised and appreciated the recycling of these practices between plays.
