the long version

In this thought-provoking book, Nick de Somogyi draws on a wide range of contemporary military literature (news-letters and war-treatises, maps and manuals), to demonstrate how deeply wartime experience influenced the production and reception of Elizabethan theatre. This book concludes with a sustained account of Hamlet, a play which both dramatizes the Elizabethan context of war-fever, and embodies in its three variant texts the war and peace that shaped its production.
