Routledge - Transnational Mobilities in Early Modern Theater

Explore the global connections of early modern drama with this scholarly collection from Routledge. This volume brings together diverse essays that examine theatrical traditions across English, Italian, Spanish, German, Czech, and Bengali contexts. By placing Shakespeare and his contemporaries within a broader framework, the book connects Western and Central European theater to the Indian subcontinent. The research looks at how theatrical units, genres, performance practices, and dramatic texts moved across geo-linguistic borders. Using a combination of distant and close reading methods, the contributors apply a systemic and structural approach to study these movements. This book is an essential resource for those studying the mobility of visual images and performance traditions in the early modern era.
