Produktbeschreibung

This original and historically rigorous study of war in Elizabethan drama and culture examines the era's emergent military science as played out in its theatres, where large audiences came to see war dramas throughout the late sixteenth century. Cahill also shows how the theatre registered the trauma produced by the new modes of warfare.
