While the prohibition on playing in many respects killed the English stage, drama thrived in print, with stationers publishing unprecedented numbers of previously unprinted professional plays, vaunting playbooks' ties to the receding theatrical past. Marketed in terms of novelty and nostalgia, plays unprinted before 1642 gained new life. Stationers also anatomized the whole corpus of English drama, printing the first anthologies and comprehensive catalogues of drama. Craig captures this crucial turning-point in English theatre history with chapters on royalist nostalgia, clandestine theatrical revivals, dramatic compendia, and the mysteriously small number of Shakespeare editions issued during the period, as well as a new incisive reading of Beaumont and Fletcher's A King and No King"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (pages 213-233) and index. 648 7 $a 1600-1699 $2 fast 650 0 $a Theater and society $z England $x History $y 17th century. 650 0 $a English drama $y 17th century $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Theater audiences $z England $x History $y 17th century. 650 0 $a Authors and readers $z England $x History $y 17th century. 650 7 $a Authors and readers. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00821738 650 7 $a English drama. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00910737 650 7 $a Theater and society. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01149315 650 7 $a Theater audiences. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01149328 651 7 $a England. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01219920 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 776 08 $i Online version: $a Craig, Heidi, 1985- $t Theatre closure and the paradoxical rise of English renaissance drama $d Cambridge ; New York, NY : Cambridge University Press, [2023] $z 9781009224017 $w (DLC) 2022034398 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117013859.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=3E59FC826D7C11EEBBB0FB5526ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
