- This book is the first major study to consider mid-seventeenth century theatrical practice, a much neglected period of literary history. Whereas conventional narratives of the production and dissemination of plays in this period assumes it marks a break between pre-Civil War drama and Restoration theatre, this book reveals a more complex reality that is as much marked by continuities across the period as it is by disruptions. The research for this book took ten years and involved numerous archival visits, two of which were funded by North American research fellowships: it challenges us to rethink periodisation, drama, printing, and politics.
