- This book establishes the literary status of drama before 1576. Taking as its focus a scattered corpus of printed playbooks (around 120 editions extant in over 500 copies), it combines the collection of unpublished quantitative data with qualitative, critical analysis of individual case studies to offer a revisionist argument about the importance of printed drama in the period. The research took place over five years; it involved extended visits to libraries and archives in the UK and US to undertake copy-specific analysis; and was supported by funding from different bodies including the Leverhulme Trust and the Bibliographic Society of America.
