The Growth of English Drama is a historical study of the development of English drama from its origins in the medieval mystery plays to the plays of Shakespeare and his contemporaries. Written by Arnold Wynne and first published in 1914, the book explores the social, political, and cultural factors that influenced the evolution of English drama over the centuries. The author examines the emergence of the professional theater in the sixteenth century and the rise of the Elizabethan and Jacobean drama, with a focus on the works of Shakespeare, Marlowe, and Jonson. He also discusses the decline of the theater during the Puritan era and its revival in the Restoration period, as well as the emergence of new forms of drama in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. The book provides a comprehensive overview of the history of English drama and its role in shaping the culture and society of England.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
