Burbage and Shakespeare's Stage Charlotte Carmichael Stopes

This history of the Burbages, The Globe Theatre and the early staging of Shakespeare's plays is based on a lifetime of research into the role of the Burbage family in the Elizabethan theater, especially in Shakespeare productions. This work remains indispensable, especially for its extracts from contemporary sources detailing the plays produced, the actors, controversies of the time, censorship, other acting companies, and much else.
