Book Description:

In this 2003 book, West explores what 'theatre' meant to medieval and Renaissance writers and places Renaissance drama within one of its most powerful intellectual contexts, the encyclopedic texts being written and produced at the time. West analyses these connections and provides a fascinating picture of the cultural life.
