Description

Discover the life of one of the seventeenth century's most significant actors. While many scholars focus on the plays themselves, the specific contributions of individual performers often remain overlooked. This study by Barbara Wooding fills that gap by providing the first full-length publication dedicated to John Lowin. As a leader of the King's Men's Company, Lowin played a vital role in the theatrical landscape of the Jacobean and Caroline eras. This book examines his multifaceted career, looking at his work as a performer, a citizen, and a company manager. By placing his life within the broader context of the period, Wooding offers a detailed look at how acting and cultural politics shaped the English stage. This scholarly work is an essential resource for those studying early modern drama and performance history. It provides a comprehensive overview of how a leading actor navigated the social and professional world of the seventeenth century, making it a valuable addition to any academic library or collection of performing arts research.
