- Summary:
- This unique collection of classical monologues for men and women celebrates the literary strength of the Elizabethan and Jacobean state, including writers who seldom escape the shadow of Shakespeare's glory, yet who have provided some of the finest dramatic writing in the English language, "From Court to Dungeons" is unique in other ways too. Unlike many monologue books, it unifies the speeches in a body of work that is linked by setting. As the title suggests, the drama in this book comes from the distinct perspective of the characters caught in the most desperate of circumstances: victims or victors, they are in the grip of the justice system, be it on trial or languishing in prison, facing execution or standing guard.
