A Chronicle History Of The London Stage, 1559-1642 is a book written by Frederick Gard Fleay and first published in 1890. The book provides a comprehensive and detailed account of the history of the London stage during the Elizabethan and Jacobean eras, covering a period of over eighty years. The book is divided into two parts. The first part covers the period from 1559 to 1603, which was the reign of Queen Elizabeth I. This section provides a detailed history of the development of the London stage during this period, including the establishment of the first permanent theatre companies, the construction of the first public theatres, and the rise of the Shakespearean theatre. The second part of the book covers the period from 1603 to 1642, which was the reign of King James I. This section provides a detailed history of the development of the London stage during this period, including the establishment of the King's Men, the construction of the second Globe Theatre, and the decline of the theatre industry due to the outbreak of the English Civil War. Throughout the book, Fleay provides detailed information about the various theatre companies and playwrights of the time, including William Shakespeare, Christopher Marlowe, Ben Jonson, and John Webster. He also provides information about the various actors and actresses who performed on the London stage during this period, as well as the audiences who attended the plays. Overall, A Chronicle History Of The London Stage, 1559-1642 is an invaluable resource for anyone interested in the history of theatre, particularly the development of the London stage during the Elizabethan and Jacobean eras. The book is well-researched and provides a wealth of information about the people, places, and events that shaped this important period in theatre history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
