Attempts to demystify Shakespeare and his company by providing a clear vision of the dynamics of play production and playgoing in Shakespeare's England, taking Shakespeare and his company from the pedestal where they were placed by Victorian scholars.
Most modern scholars regard William Shakespeare and his repertory company as the pre-eminent theatre group of its day; Roslyn Lander Knutson contends that they were also practical entrepreneurs who both shaped and responded to current theatrical tastes and whose playhouse practices closely paralleled those of their competitors. In ""The Repertory of Shakespeare's Company"" Knutson demystifies Shakespeare and his company by providing a clear vision of the dynamics of play production and play-going in Shakespeare's England, taking Shakespeare and his company down from their lofty pedestal where Victorian scholars placed them. She argues that Shakespeare and his company should not be seen as privileged and apart from the playing companies of the period, but should be viewed exactly as they were: as the hard-nosed participants in the highly competitive world of English theatre. A reference guide and critical revaluation, ""The Repertory of Shakespeare's Company"" combines an array of factual information with a keen insight into not just Shakespearean ""masterpieces"" but also the seldom-read plays, to give an account of theatrical life in Shakespeare's London.
