About 13 h 54 min of reading1010 chapters

E. K. Chambers's The Elizabethan Stage, published in four volumes in 1923, is the standard reference for the English theater between 1558 and 1616. The fourth volume contains the final section of his survey of plays and playwrights, devoted to anonymous work, with a dated catalog of plays, masques and entertainments and notes on their texts and performance history. It then gives the appendices: a calendar of court performances, documents of criticism and of control from the Privy Council, the City and the Church, and other records, followed by the index to the whole work. Chambers explains his dating symbols in a note at the start. The full text is available to read online in your browser on Vinteuil, and the first chapter is free.
