PREFACE
THE method of dramatic representation in the time of Shakespeare haslong received close study. Among those who have more recently devotedtheir energies to the subject may be mentioned W.J. Lawrence, T.S.Graves, G.F. Reynolds, V.E. Albright, A.H. Thorndike, and B.Neuendorff, each of whom has embodied the results of hisinvestigations in one or more noteworthy volumes. But the history ofthe playhouses themselves, a topic equally important, has not hithertobeen attempted. If we omit the brief notices of the theatres in EdmondMalone's The Plays BU KİTABI OKUMAK İÇİN ÜYE OLUN VEYA GİRİŞ YAPIN!
