This book offers the first extended study of Queen Henrietta’s Men, one of Caroline London’s most important professional playing companies. The drama that the company performed at the Cockpit between 1626 and 1636 includes many underexplored and neglected plays from the period alongside more celebrated works by dramatists including James Shirley and John Ford, and a number of Elizabethan and Jacobean revivals. This book explores the material and cultural conditions under which the company operated, and offers an account of the dynamics that held between new drama written for the company and the revivals staged alongside that fare. In doing so, this account illuminates the ways in which an appreciation of the work of Queen Henrietta’s Men can offer new perspectives on theatre history.
Eleanor Collins is Acquisitions Editor in Literature at Oxford University Press, and Co-Ordinating Editor of The Malone Society.
