Aerial Environments on the Early Modern Stage

Theatres of the Air, 1576-1609

Beschreibung

During the early days of the professional English theatre, dramatists wrote for playhouses that, though enclosed by surrounding walls, remained open to the ambient air and the sky above. This book considers the various ways in which the air is brought into presence within early modern drama.
