Recenzje

'A compelling contribution to early modern theatre history, Laurie Johnson's The Earl of Leicester's Men and their Plays will shape our understanding of dramatic patronage, touring and the relationship between playing companies and dedicated playing spaces. In the process he sheds new light on the life-stories of players and their families, women's contributions to the business of theatre and the evidence for plays that are now lost. His book will be required reading for anyone interested in this pivotal phase in the development of theatre in England.' Lucy Munro, King's College London
