Shakespeare and Lost Plays - Reimagining Drama in Early Modern England

Shakespeare and Lost Plays returns Shakespeare's dramatic work to its most immediate and (arguably) important context: the hundreds of plays known to original audiences, but lost to us, revisiting key moments in Shakespeare's career to provide a richer, more accurate picture of dramatic activity than has hitherto been possible.
