About This Book
A dramatized evocation of Elizabethan literary life follows a circle of poets and players as they plan and present a seasonal play for the monarch, alternating scenes in a famed tavern, pastoral views of Stratfordshire, and the royal palace; the narrative sketches convivial debate, theatrical rehearsal and court performance, and closes with a lyrical account of older Christmas customs, combining local description, portraits of prominent figures, and imagined conversations to recreate the period's social and artistic atmosphere.
