A valuable aid both to the student and to the stager of Shakespeare, this book points out the dramatic effectiveness of Shakespeare's scenes of spectacle and probes the master dramatist's original staging of the scenes. The first comparative treatment of the dramatic relationship between the two most popular forms of entertainment in Shakespeare's day -the street pageantry and the stage play- this volume makes an important new contribution to the staging and interpreting of the plays of Shakespeare and other Elizabethan dramatists.
