Mastering the Revels: The Regulation and Censorship of English Renaissance Drama
(This book offers a detailed reconsideration of the regula...)
This book offers a detailed reconsideration of the regulation of English Renaissance drama. It is the first study to approach the issue through the role of the Masters of the Revels, who censored most late Tudor and early Stuart plays, relating the control they exercised over the actors to the political context of the court office they themselves held. Four men - Edmond Tilney, Sir George Buc, Sir John Astley and Sir Henry Herbert - held the post during the period when Lyly, Marlowe, Shakespeare, Jonson, Marston, Middleton, Fletcher and Massinger flourished. Richard Dutton argues that their relationship to the patronage pressures and power politics of the court conditioned the way they "perused" and "allowed" the plays brought before them, allowing for a more sympathetic and accommodating censorship about contentious matters than earlier accounts have assumed. This has implications for any historical reading of these plays, since it clarifies the terms on which the actors were permitted to be, in Hamlet's words, "the abstracts and brief chronicles of the time", and so to comment on matters of topical interest.

William Shakespeare: A Literary Life (Literary Lives)
(This is an account of Shakespeare's career as a professio...)
This is an account of Shakespeare's career as a professional dramatist, comparing him with Ben Jonson in order to isolate qualities unique to Shakespeare's achievement, and offer new perspectives and basis for an informed historical reading of his works. Although the author follows the contours of his life, he does not intend the work to be a conventional biography of his life and family, but examines the main strands of his work in a variety of contexts and recognizes that many questions relating to Shakespeare and his background remain intensely controversial.
