Theatre History, Attribution Studies, and the Question of Evidence by Holger Sch

Description: Theatre History, Attribution Studies, and the Question of Evidence by Holger Schott Syme This Element offers an in-depth reinterpretation of Philip Henslowes records of new plays, develops a novel account of how theatre companies copied and adapted plays in one anothers repertories, and reconstructs an early modern cluster of Hieronimo plays that also allows us to reimagine Ben Jonsons career as an actor. FORMAT Paperback CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Over the past decade, attribution scholars have come to a consensus that Shakespeare wrote some of the additions printed in the 1602 quarto of Kyds Spanish Tragedy. This new development in textual studies has far-reaching consequences for established theatre-historical narratives. Accounting for Shakespeares involvement in The Spanish Tragedy requires us to rethink the history of two major theatre companies, the Admirals and the Chamberlains Men, and to reread much of the documentary record of late Elizabethan theatre. Modelling what a theatre-historical response to new attributionist arguments might look like, the author offers an in-depth reinterpretation of Philip Henslowes records of new plays, develops a novel account of how theatre companies copied and adapted plays in one anothers repertories (including a reconsideration of the Ur-Hamlet and the two Shrew plays), and reconstructs an early modern cluster of Hieronimo plays that also allows us to reimagine Ben Jonsons career as an actor.
