Publisher's Notes
Covering the period from the Spanish Armada in 1588 to the publication of the First Folio in 1623, this work presents over 700 concise biographies of the leading "players" of Shakespeare's time, in the arts, politics, the Church, the Court, the secret service, and the theatre. In addition to figures as diverse as Christopher Marlowe, Francis Drake, and Queen Elizabeth I, Shakespeare's family and Stratford connections are included, along with many lesser figures whom he knew personally, and others whose fame or notoriety may have influenced him. Attention is also given to American connections and many early members of the Virginia Company and the Massachusetts Bay Company are included. With its useful glossary of unusual terms and extensive cross-references, this detailed study richly illustrates the variety and complexity of the life of the period and will be invaluable to legions of Shakespeare lovers.

Recovering Shakespeare's Theatrical Vocabulary
by Alan C. Dessen
Alan Dessen draws on stage directions from hundreds of plays (from 1425 to 1642) to investigate what a playgoer may actually have seen when watching the original production of Hamlet or Macbeth. He argues for the presence of a shared vocabulary among playwrights, players and playgoers geared to a sense of theater that is easily obscured or eclipsed today. Chapters are devoted to such things as early entrances, the sick chair, vanish effects, tomb scenes, and to the staging of places such as a forest, a shop, a study or a house.
