All three convey the public theatre's fascination with travel and adventure through the popular genre of heroic romance, while reflecting the contemporaries' wide range of responses to cross-cultural contacts with the Muslim East and the Mediterranean challenges posed by the Ottoman empire.0The volume presents the first modern-spelling editions of the three plays, with extensive annotations catering for specialised scholars while also making the texts accessible to students and theatre-goers. A detailed introduction discusses issues of authorship, dates and sources, and sets the plays in their historical and cultural contexts, offering exciting insights on Elizabethan performance strategies, printing practices, and the circulation of knowledge and stereotypes related to ethnic and religious difference. -- English drama Early modern and Elizabethan, 1500-1600 Middle East Drama Kyd Thomas 1558-1594 (DE-588)11856837X Verfasser aut Heywood Thomas 1574-1641 (DE-588)118774395 Verfasser aut Niayesh Ladan (DE-588)1200875702 Herausgeber edt BK020000 XK020000 XK020000 Stoppsignal FRED nebis DS IDSBB A192 A192 192N4 ENG Ce II 65 NELA1921902 IDSBB 100 1- Greene Robert 1558-1592 (DE-588)118541811 Verfasser aut IDSBB 490 0- Revels Plays Companion Library IDSBB 700 1- Kyd Thomas 1558-1594 (DE-588)11856837X Verfasser aut IDSBB 700 1- Heywood Thomas 1574-1641 (DE-588)118774395 Verfasser aut IDSBB 700 1- Niayesh Ladan (DE-588)1200875702 Herausgeber edt
