Extract

This study is part of Oxford Shakespeare Topics; a series of short, accessible books addressing “important aspects of Shakespeare criticism and scholarship.” It aims to reconstruct the conditions of performance in Shakespeare's own time. The relatively meager supply of hard historical evidence is supplemented by interpretive speculation, with the latter occasionally overbalancing the former.
