The Place of the Stage by Steven Mullaney

Probes English society in the age of Shakespeare
A major study, not merely of selected Shakespearean plays but of the very conditions of the possibility of Renaissance drama" —Louis Montrose, University of California, San Diego

"Mullaney's rich and engaged reading of the place of Shakespeare's stage represents the texture of early modern life and its cultural productions in the vivid tradition of annales history and brilliantly exemplifies his theoretical call for a poetics of culture." — Shakespeare Quarterly

"Mullaney marshals an impressive range of cultural representations which, taken together, will undoubtedly force a reconsideration of the semiotics of the Elizabethan stage." —Times Higher Education Supplement

". . . something of a dramatic feat in cultural studies: literary critic Mullaney calls in a cast ranging from Clifford Geertz and Pierre Bourdieu to Raymond Williams, Mary Douglas, and Michel Foucault." —Contemporary Sociology

Steven Mullaney is Associate Professor of English at the University of Michigan.
