Shakespeare, the King's Playwright by Alvin B Kernan
Soon after James Stuart became King of England in 1603, William Shakespeare became the royal playwright. In this book the author looks at the court performances of some of Shakespeare's most famous plays, examining them in their settings at the royal palaces of Whitehall and Hampton Court.
