Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Elizabethan Playhouse, and Other Studies The genial reception given to my earlier book on the Elizabethan Playhouse has encouraged me to issue this Second Series of studies. My chief aim has been, as before, to throw additional light on the obscurities of the Elizabethan Stage, and to emphasize the remarkable vitality of its conventions by demonstrating how many of them contrived to wind their tendrils round the trunk of early picture-stage dramaturgy. We sometimes forget that if there have been growth and decadence since Shakespeare's time, there has also been a certain measure of continuity. No apology need, I hope, be expressed for the inclusion of one or two papers at the end which lie outside the scope of the main inquiry. They are the result of patient delving, and their existence is justified by the new facts they present. I have also thought it advisable to reprint in amended form in an appendix the chronological list of Elizabethan and quasi-Elizabethan theatres originally published at the end of my first paper in the earlier volume. Corrected by the light of the recent discoveries of Monsieur Feuillerat and Professor C. W. Wallace, this embodies the chief facts known to modern learning about the early playhouses. Of these studies it also requires to be noted that the third, fifth, sixth and eighth are now published for the first time.

"Instead he is interested in the physical conditions and stage conventions of the Elizabethan playhouse.... In bringing together his papers and studies into the present volume, Mr. Lawrence has striven especially to illustrate not only the rise and progress of the 'Platform stage,' but also the degree to which its characteristics coalesced with and influenced the 'Picture stage.' 'It will be found, I think, that these studies embody full details of the evolution of the English theatre in its primary and secondary stages, or, in other words, from its inception in the inn-yards until the close of the seventeenth century. In them some attempt has been made to indicate what features were indigenous and what derivative.' "Into the eleven separate papers that make up his volume, Mr. Lawrence has gathered a wide variety of information about the Elizabethan playhouse." —The Boston Transcript "The essays are written with verve and bear the mark of diligent preparation. That they lead to rather few definite conclusions Is perhaps due more to the broad field they seek to cover than to any lack of critical acumen In the author." —The Dial "The first article Is the best summary yet published of our information In regard to the stage conditions of the time. As regards the author's general views concerning the Elizabethan stage, one may say that he is altogether uninfluenced by recent writers who are inclined to claim for Elizabethan staging a larger element of pictorial illusion than was once thought possible, and who In other respects minimize to a certain extent the archaic features of the stage of the period. The volume is beautifully printed, and its value is enhanced by a series of admirable Illustrations." —The Nation "Profoundly scholarly work." —The N. Y. Times "This volume is packed with discovery. Their riches would furnish forth—they probably will furnish forth—the popular historian's book bazaar for the next ten years. Some day Mr. Lawrence will receive his due. —The Saturday Review

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Elizabethan Playhouse: And Other Studies In connection with the existing, actively pursued inquiry into the physical conditions and stage conventionalisms of the Elizabethan Playhouse, I lay claim with pardonable pride to the mild honours of a pioneer. Ten years ago, when I first began to publish the result of my prolonged investigations on the subject, there were no scientific workers in the field. At home and abroad, in Germany, in America, there are many now. To those who desire to see how notable has been the progress made in this department of research during the past decade I commend Professor Reynolds' critical retrospect, "What we know of the Elizabethan Stage," as published last year in Modern Philology at Chicago. To myself the seriousness of this advance has been vividly brought home by the circumstance that, on examination, the first fruits of my labours in this field have proved too axiomatic to bear the test of reproduction. I refer here more particularly to a paper on "Some Characteristics of the Elizabethan-Stuart Stage," contributed in 1903 to Englische Studien, which at least justified itself in inspiring and directing other workers. Vainglorious as this may sound, it is simply an echo of what has been publicly acknowledged. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
