Maurice Blanchot (Routledge Critical Thinkers) by Ullrich Haase Publisher: Routledge - Dramatists and Their Manuscripts in the Age of Shakespeare, Jonson, Middleton, and Heywood PDF



This book presents new evidence about the ways in which English Renaissance dramatists such as William Shakespeare, Ben Jonson, Thomas Heywood, John Fletcher and Thomas Middleton composed their plays and the degree to which they participated in the dissemination of their texts to theatrical audiences. Grace Ioppolo argues that the path of the transmission of the text was not linear, from author to censor to playhouse to audience - as has been universally argued by scholars - but circular.
