Description

Explore the connection between economic theory, literary criticism, and public theater in London at the turn of the seventeenth century. In Desires of Credit in Early Modern Theory and Drama, author Brian Sheerin examines how the rise of commerce and the development of the stage shared a common fascination with the power of the imagination. This scholarly work investigates the central question of how investments of belief can produce tangible consequences. By analyzing the period when speculators and artists alike sought to create something out of nothing, Sheerin provides a deep look into the human imagination as a driving force in both economic and literary inquiry. Part of the Studies in Performance and Early Modern Drama series, this book offers a unique perspective on the historical relationship between belief, credit, and the performing arts.
