Book Synopsis Dramatic Extracts in Seventeenth-Century English Manuscripts by : Laura Estill
Book excerpt: Throughout the seventeenth century, early modern play readers and playgoers copied dramatic extracts into their commonplace books, verse miscellanies, diaries, and songbooks. This is the first book to examine these often overlooked texts, which reveal what early modern audiences and readers took, literally and figuratively, from plays.
