- This monograph is significant in terms of its intellectual scope and the scale of academic investment it entailed. Based on three years of research, it is the first book-length study to focus specifically on how early modern acting company practices shaped the writing of plays by Shakespeare and his contemporaries. The monograph is based on extensive archival work with early modern theatrical records and manuscript plays preserved in depositories such as the British Library, Dulwich College, Lambeth Palace Library and The National Archives, and it is illustrated with a series of original case studies of individual acting companies and plays.
