- Summary:
- "This book offers the first in-depth study of Richard Burbage's theatrical career and his ground-breaking contribution to the development of professional theatre in Shakespearean London. Burbage is best known for becoming the leading actor in Shakespeare's acting company, the Lord Chamberlain's players. Siobhan Keenan begins by tracing Burbage's early life and the emergent theatrical community of which he was a part, before moving on to a series of chapters which explore his growing reputation as a player and theatre manager. Chapters also examine Burbage's influence on Shakespeare and reflect on Burbage's cultural legacy and impact on early modern acting traditions"-- Provided by publisher
