General note: Includes index. Summary, etc: This volume throws new light on the complexity and variety of practices which may be defined as 'theatrical' in a broad sense in 16th- and 17th-century English drama. Tournaments, and their aristocratic codes, are explored as well as more popular and 'marginal' spectacles, such as jugglers, clowns and prophetesses.
