Documents of the Rose Playhouse

Abstract

In her Preface, the author outlines the intent, the form and the expectations of this volume:This book is a 'documentary life': a collection of manuscripts selected and arranged to chronicle the day-to-day operation of one Elizabethan playhouse, the Rose, over the fifteen years of its existence.My objectives in compiling this life have been two-fold.First, to present these lively docu- ments in such a way as to release their original energy again, to recreate the push and shove ofthe Elizabethan playhouse.Second, to introduce stu- dents to the possibilities and methods of documentary research by expos- ing them to the variety of material that survives for this period and by suggesting some ways of interpreting that material.
