Description

Explore the evolution of dramatic literature with Reading Drama in Tudor England. This scholarly work from the Material Readings in Early Modern Culture series examines the print invention of drama as a specific category of text intended for readers. It investigates how plays became accessible for leisure-time reading by the middle of the sixteenth century through the use of printed paratexts. By analyzing how title-pages, character lists, and other front matter helped make plays legible, this book provides a deep look into the marketing and consumption of early modern texts. It reveals how playbooks developed recognizable conventions to announce their category even before permanent playhouses were established. This is an essential resource for those studying the history of theatre, print culture, and the development of playwriting in the Tudor era.
