INSIDE SHAKESPEARE. Essays on the Blackfriars Stage.

First edition. Publisher's original black cloth with gilt titles to the spine, in dustwrapper. With three black and white illustrations (on pages 168-70). A near fine copy, the binding square and firm, with a touch of bumping to the extremities. The contents are clean throughout, and without inscriptions or stamps. Complete with the better than very good, lightly creased dustwrapper, which is mildly faded to the spine.

A collection of essays by Shakespeare scholars and historians aimed at providing a foundation understanding of early modern drama and the wider theatrical context for the Blackfriars Theatres in Jacobean London.
