Shakespeare and the institution of theatrethe best in this kind /[electronic resource] :Erica Sheen. - Basingstoke [England] ;Palgrave Macmillan,2009. - viii, 172 p. ;23 cm. - Palgrave Shakespeare studies. - Palgrave Shakespeare studies..

Includes bibliographical references (p. 143-166) and index.

The Institution of Theatre -- Nebuchadnezzar's Tree -- A Pleasure and a Profit -- Welcome to your Chamber -- Calling Fools into a Circle --The Only Men -- A Stranger to My Heart -- 'Tis Time.

In this highly original book, Erica Sheen rethinks an approach that has been central to Shakespearean studies since the rise of New Historicism in the 1980s. Challenging the prevailing orthodoxy that the institutional form of early modern theatre was that of a market, she takes her starting point from sixteenth-century developments in the law of property, and offers innovative readings of Shakespeare's plays which demonstrate his adaptation of legal principles of ownership to the creativelabour by which his work, and that of the Chamberlain's Men, came to berecognised in their own timeas 'the best in this kind'. She extends this analysis to questions about the nature of dramatic action and spectatorship that are fundamental to our understanding of the distinctive quality of Shakespeare's work. This imaginative study will encourage itsreaders to change the way they think about hitherto familiar plays andcritical problems.
