Table of ContentsReviewsFor Gieskes, early modern dramatic genres are social: not things to be understood in relation to abstract formal ideals, but processes negotiated within the dynamic contexts of literary production. His rich and wide-ranging book shows how the innovations of Shakespearean drama were the product both of a competitive theatrical marketplace and of a broader, complex, and deeply self-conscious poetic environment.--Tom Rutter, University of Sheffield Author InformationEdward Gieskes is associate professor of English at the University of South Carolina, Columbia.
