School Library Journal Review
Gr 6-UpThis well-organized book puts the theater and the genius of Shakespeare into historical context. Using a variety of resources, the author draws a convincing picture of an age of supreme vitality during which poetry and drama flourished. Not only Shakespeare, but Marlowe, Jonson, and some lesser-known writers are discussed along with those who built and acted in the theaters. Yancey frequently quotes scholars, footnoting and attributing in the text to the point that it reads like a lively research paper. A saving grace is her enthusiasm for the lusty detail, such as the raiding of butcher shops for bags of blood, liver, and intestines to be used as stage props, or an excerpt from a passage on bad teeth that details Elizabethan methods of tooth care. There are some disturbing inconsistencies. For example, Shakespeare is said to have created the roles of Bottom and Hamlet's gravedigger for the clown Richard Tarlton who died in 1588, years before Shakespeare was established as a Londoner or a playwright. The text is presented in short bits frequently interrupted by sidebars and generously illustrated with black-and-white prints. Easily accessed and generally accurate, this should be a useful addition to most libraries.Sally Margolis, formerly at Deerfield Public Library, IL (c) Copyright 2010.
