Book Description:
|
With emphasis on the distinctive effects possible on the Elizabethan stage and the evidence concerning stagecraft found in the late morality plays, Dessen focuses on theatrical techniques not readily apparent to the modern reader. He stresses that the modern reader must bring the interpretive skills of the critic, the theatrical point of view of the director, and the contextual knowledge of the historian.
