Bøker av Douglas Bruster

Seeing Shakespeare's Style offers new ways for readers to perceive Shakespeare and, by extension, literary texts generally.

Douglas Bruster's provocative study of English Renaissance drama explores its links with Elizabethan and Jacobean economy and society, looking at the status of playwrights such as Shakespeare and the establishment of commercial theatres.

This remarkable study shows how prologues ushered audience and actors through a rite of passage and how they can be seen to offer rich insight into what the early modern theatre was thought capable of achieving.
