The Elizabethan Stage, Vol. 3
E. K. Chambers published The Elizabethan Stage in four volumes in 1923, and it remains a standard reference on the theater of Shakespeare's time. This third volume opens with the chapters on staging: how plays were presented at court, and how the public and private playhouses were used in the sixteenth and the seventeenth centuries. It then turns to plays and playwrights, with a chapter on how plays came to be printed, followed by a long alphabetical survey of the dramatists of the period, from well-known figures to obscure names, setting out what is known of their lives and of the date, publication and stage history of each of their plays. The full text is available to read online in your browser on Vinteuil, and the first chapter is free.
