Description
Explore the history of the Earl of Leicester's Men, the dominant Elizabethan playing company that shaped the foundations of Shakespearean theatre. For thirty years, this troupe led the stage, touring more widely than any other company and performing more frequently for Queen Elizabeth's court than any other adult group. In this first book-length study, Laurie Johnson uses primary sources to uncover the history of this influential group. The text details how the company established the first major playhouses near London and explores the fascinating life stories behind the performers. This work builds on decades of scholarship to provide a deep look at the legacy of an early Elizabethan company that helped define the era of English drama.
