As the Preface outlines, this collection had its origins in our collaborative research on a seventeenth-century provincial manuscript drama — a play without a title, an author, or any history of performance. Yet the text was replete with local references, explicit and implicit, that suggested the script had been conceived about and for a particular community in a particular place. In short, it was a play that was site-specific. Traditionally, of course, scholarship about early drama has concentrated on public performances in urban environments and, thus, for the seventeenth century, it has almost always been London-centric. This is hardly surprising given the concentration of evidence from the capital city: extant playtexts; information about theatre buildings and their locations; knowledge of when and where specific dramas were staged as well as composition of audiences; along with relevant contextual materials including histories of the city, maps, and contemporary nondramatic representation in the visual arts, poetry and other media. Notwithstanding such a significant and interdisciplinary archive, material evidence still tends, typically, to inform either readings of plays or histories of the theatres in which they were staged.KeywordsPublic PerformancePerformance CultureCultural GeographyCritical PracticeCourt PerformanceThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.
