- This monograph (231pp) undertook a sustained analysis of fourteen plays produced in the 1590s and early 1600s. Its central argument was that these plays should be considered as a coherent group engaged in dialogue about the utility of such humanist discourses as republicanism and stoicism, and as a lens for topical comment, making it essential to draw upon a substantial range of primary material. It also engaged extensively with contemporary print sources to develop its arguments relating to the plays’ engagement with humanist discourses and topical events, along with a broad range of scholarship covering the seven dramatists under discussion.
