Book Synopsis
Builds a case for the central, formative function of Shakespeare’s theatre in the news culture of early modern England. In an analysis that combines historical research with recent developments in public sphere theory, Stephen Wittek argues that the unique discursive space created by commercial theatre helped to foster the conceptual framework that made news possible.
