The Evolution Of The English Drama Up To Shakespeare: With A History Of The First Blackfriars Theater is a book written by Charles William Wallace and first published in 1912. The book provides a comprehensive overview of the development of English drama from its earliest forms to the time of William Shakespeare. It explores the various influences that shaped the English theater, including medieval mystery plays, classical drama, and the works of continental playwrights. The book also includes a detailed history of the first Blackfriars Theater, which was a significant venue for English drama in the late 16th and early 17th centuries. The theater was located in London and was known for its innovative staging techniques and use of artificial lighting. Throughout the book, Wallace provides insights into the social, political, and cultural contexts in which English drama evolved. He also discusses the key figures who contributed to the development of the theater, including Christopher Marlowe, Ben Jonson, and of course, William Shakespeare. Overall, The Evolution Of The English Drama Up To Shakespeare: With A History Of The First Blackfriars Theater is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of English theater and the cultural context in which Shakespeare's plays were written and performed.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
