It traces the astonishingly diverse range of tragedies as they were influenced by the growth of public and private theatre venues in London. Tragedy was the most popular and the most diverse of theatrical genres during the English Renaissance; it was also the most disruptive and subversive. For Shakespeare and his contemporaries, tragedy reaches kings and queens and everyday person alike. Tragedy has rules, but these were rules that playwrights were ready to trouble and transform to meet changes in society and politics, in theatre venue, and in audience demand.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Features\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003ePlays and their authors are discussed alongside each other against the background of the socio-cultural and political conditions of their times\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eShows the degree to which theatre history can be connected with other significant contextual factors and critical ideas in analysis of the tragedies of the English Renaissance\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eReflects the latest scholarship of early modern theatre history (especially London theatres), the history of performance and acting and the print history of stage plays\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eInspects the sub-genres associated with the form, such as revenge tragedy, historical tragedy, domestic tragedy, tragicomedy and closet drama\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Goran Stanivukovic, John H.
