Description

Reading Drama in Tudor England explores how printed plays became a distinct literary category in sixteenth-century England, shaped by the paratexts that framed them for readers. This scholarly work examines the material features that made drama legible and marketable as leisure reading, including title-pages, character lists, and front matter conventions. Before permanent playhouses became established, playbooks had already adopted recognisable conventions that announced their category and appealed to the reading public. The book offers detailed analysis of how these textual elements transformed plays from performance scripts into readable texts, revealing the print culture strategies that established drama as a category for consumption beyond the stage.
