About the Author:
CHOICE Outstanding Academic Title 2015
"Contemporary scholarship on Shakespeare, Elizabethan theater, and early modern culture can seem overwhelming in scope, esoteric in content, and impenetrable in presentation. Keenan's accessible, concise volume is not in that mold ... Each chapter also offers a specific case study in which Keenan meticulously applies the concepts of the chapter to a specific play. Keenan impresses on readers the vitality and significance of acting companies in relation to this celebrated period of theater. This book will be indispensable for those exploring Shakespeare and his contemporaries. Summing Up: Essential. Academic readers at all levels, professionals, general readers." --S. B. Skelton, Kansas State University, CHOICE
"If anyone is seeking comprehensive guidance through the morass of acting companies in Shakespeare's England, this is the place to go to." - Shakespeare Newsletter
