Practicing the city : early modern London on stage

Levine, Nina S. 1950- (author.).

Summary: This volume explores the theatre's unprecedented focus on the contemporary city in early modern London. It examines plays by Shakespeare and his contemporaries to consider how this new, experimental theatre created a medium for urban plurality, opening up a reflexive space within which diverse populations might begin to practice the city.
