Staging Authority in Caroline England: Prerogative, Law and Order in Drama, 1625–1642
Jessica Dyson
Considering plays by Philip Massinger, Richard Brome, Ben Jonson, John Ford and James Shirley, this study addresses the political import of drama as it engages with contemporary struggles over authority between royal prerogative, common law and local custom in Caroline England. In so doing, it transforms our understanding of the Caroline commercial theatre’s relationship with legal authority.
