How was the experience of watching a play influenced by practices beyond the walls of the playhouse, and what were the broader social and historical implications of the culture of playgoing? The book sets out to answer such questions. Since the two authors have very different perspectives on the issues discussed, they have chosen a unique format: rather than submerging their opposition, they have highlighted it. Their attacks and counter-attacks, as they contest each other's views in paired chapters, result in a lively and illuminating debate.Dawson, Anthony B. is the author of 'Culture of Playgoing in Shakespeare's England A Collaborative Debate', published 0018 under ISBN 9780521023634 and ISBN 0521023637.
