Sovereigns and Subjects in Early Modern Neo-Senecan Drama

In this book, Daniel Cadman examines the development of neo-Senecan drama, also known as ’closet drama’, during the years 1590-1613. In analyzing how these plays illuminate various aspects of early modern political culture, the book addresses gaps in the scholarship of early modern drama and explores new contexts in relation to more familiar writers, as well as extending the critical debate to include hitherto neglected authors.
