Publisher's Synopsis
The Early Modern Age (15th-18th cents) saw the appearance of a vast number of Latin plays. The papers collected in this volume analyse exemplars of individual dramas or complexes of dramas to provide insights into the fundamental structures of the genre, but also into differences determined by history, denomination and function. Attention is also paid to theoretical dramatic and theatrical texts which reflected, accompanied and in their turn influenced the development of drama composition and stage practice. Finally, future research areas are indicated and wish lists set up.
