What makes Materializing the East in Early Modern English Drama innovative, and illuminating is its attention to the materiality of the early modern English stage: material objects, stage conventions, performance venues, senses, and other affects. Focusing on non-canonical and often neglected plays, this volume reorients our understanding of the early modern stage beyond Shakespearean drama. The authors weave together an original and innovative study of early modern English drama, drawing on university plays and their influence on the conventional stage.
