Genre Decorum as Precondition of Renaissance Genre-Bending
Early modern arguments by Giason Denores, Ben Jonson, John Milton, and others for genre integrity and against genre mixing are worth examining on their own terms. For one thing, the claim for genre integrity was often accompanied by a fierce belief in the political relevance of dramatic genres to which we today would be very sympathetic. Moreover, many early modern approaches to mixed genres, such as Battista Guarini’s argument for tragicomedy on…
Meeting at the Sign of the Queen: The Commedia dell’Arte, Cheap Print, and Piazza Performance
Recent critical emphasis on the court patronage enjoyed by the commedia dell’arte may create the impression that professional actors did not perform in Italian streets and piazzas, as nineteenth-century Romantic critics asserted they did.

Pastoral Tragicomedy and The Tempest
As Richard Andrews argues in this volume, the functional meaning of ‘source’ needs to be redefined for an early modern theatre that, across geolinguistic borders, worked in modular, combinatory and collaborative ways. In the ‘modular’ world of pan-European theatre, the appearance of a ‘theatergram’ 1 (formulaic theatrical unit) in print or manuscript should be seen as a terminus ante quem , the tip of an iceberg connected to a rich, antecedent or…
