J. S. Carducci, Choice 'Performances at Court in the Age of Shakespeare is a savoury, witty, learned tribute to this endlessly fascinating world.' Barbara Ravelhofer, The Review of English Studies 'The 16 essays, all comprehensive in their research and well documented, study Elizabethan and Jacobean court performances, and taken together they conclude that the plays during this time 'flowered into a robust, interconnected court and public theatre culture'.' J. S. Carducci, Choice 'Performances at Court in the Age of Shakespeare is a savoury, witty, learned tribute to this endlessly fascinating world.' Barbara Ravelhofer, The Review of English Studies 'The editors' stated goal with this volume is 'to show that the expansion of early modern commercial playhouses and the rise of lavishly elaborated courtly shows were not isolated events, but interdependent phenomena, which enables the birth of proto-capitalist, public enterprises'. The breadth and depth of the collection certainly underscore this intent, and the text is successful as well in demonstrating the ways Tudor and Stuart drama was both textual and visual, both diplomatic and aesthetic. As a contribution to the study of early modern performance, the culture of court performance, and the difference between court and public performance, this is a valuable new collection of knowledge.'
