Beskrivning

This book explores the changing representation on the early modern stage of the built environment of London. It covers a period in which the city underwent rapid growth to become the country's first metropolis, and it examines how the urban environment becomes part of the frame of reference of the drama that is set there.

Recensioner i media

'The chief virtue of the work is the encyclopaedic knowledge of drama that the author brings to his study. Readers unfamiliar with the range of dramatic works that utilise or refer to the city in some way will encounter references to some new materials between these pages.' - Andrew Gordon, The Review of English Studies
