Opis

Musical performance was a driving force behind theatrical and poetic movements of the early modern period, yet its importance to literary history has long been ignored. This book explores the media through which songs of the period were made. It provides a new approach to Renaissance poetry and drama that is grounded in a synthetic media history.
