Shakespeare's Theater: A Sourcebook

"Tanya Pollard's anthology usefully brings together in a single volume modernized, annotated selections from many writers who participated in the lively debate about the nature and morality of the theater in late 16th and early 17th century England. [...] Shakespeare's Theater: A Sourcebook is an excellent resource for students and a fine ancillary text for university-level courses on Shakespeare or English Renaissance drama." Katharine Eisaman Maus, James Branch Cabell Professor of English, University of Virginia <!--end-->

"This wonderful collection of polemical documents shows early modern minds wrestling with the very concept of theatrical representation. A provocative and supremely valuable resource book." Laurie Maguire, Magdalen College, Oxford

"Pollard has performed a most valuable service to Shakespearian studies and to our knowledge of the Elizabethan and Jacobean theatrical world by collecting them together in Shakespeare's Theatre: A Sourcebook. ... recommended for all libraries colecting materials in Shakespeare, the Elizabethan and Jacobean theatre, English literature, history and culture."
