Shakespeare and Lost Plays restores Shakespeare's dramatic work to its most immediate and, arguably, pivotal context, by placing it alongside the hundreds of plays known to Shakespeare's original audiences but lost to us. In his reassessment of the value of lost plays in relation to both the companies that originally performed them and contemporary scholars of early modern drama, David McInnis offers an innovative study that revisits key moments in Shakespeare's career and the development of his company. By prioritizing the immense volume of information we now possess about lost plays, this study provides a richer and more accurate picture of dramatic activity than has hitherto been possible.
By considering a variety of ways to grapple with the problem of lost, imperceptible, or ignored texts, this volume presents a methodology for working with lacunae in archival evidence and the distorting effect of Shakespeare-centric narratives. Thus, it reinterprets our perception of the field of early modern drama.
