Abstract
In “Early Modern Plays and Performance,”David Carnegie reviews four studies of early modern drama, principally Shakespeare, that consider aspects of the history of performance in relation to modern understandings of these theatrical works. Three are edited volumes of essays: Jonathan Gil Harris and Natasha Korda, Staged Properties in Early Modern English Drama; Hardin L. Aasand, Stage Directions in Hamlet; and Frank Occhiogrosso, Shakespeare in Performance. The fourth book under review is Mariko Ichikawa, Shakespearean Entrances. Two of the studies concern stage directions in performances and editions, one in a single play (Hamlet). One essay volume focuses on the myriad material considerations raised by earlymodern props and staging, while another treats a range of issues encountered in modern stagings. 456 david carnegie This content downloaded from 157.55.39.127 on Wed, 29 Jun 2016 04:02:34 UTC All use subject to http://about.jstor.org/terms
