A Shakespearean Theatre

"A Shakespearean Theatre" is an invaluable guide to an important period in English history. With the use of superb cutaway illustrations, we take a look at the different people involved in the theatre and the way it operated, from the position of the audience to the elaborate stage machinery, providing a vivid and dramatic insight into life in Elizabethan England. Discover the hazards of everyday life in the 16th century, such as fire and plague. Illustrations of artefacts and paintings from the era help to support the main text by explaining how we know what we know. Informative captions, maps, a complete glossary and an index make these titles ideal educational texts.
