Gli articoli di questo numero si basano sullanalisi di fonti di prima mano: dal testamento di Simon Jewell che illustra le condizioni materiali e la vita di una troupe alla fine del XVI secolo; a nuove ricerche su The Spanish Tragedy di Kyd e Bartholomew Fair di Jonson; a connessioni linguistiche fra corpi, abiti, libri in Shakespeare, Middleton, Fletcher e Dekker. Si segnalano ledizione critica 1612 dellEdward II di Marlowe, confrontata con le precedenti alla luce delle controversie giacobite; infine The Stonyhurst Pageants, serie di commedie del XVII secolo troppo a lungo neglette, suggerisce connessioni col dramma biblico.
Il prossimo numero in edizione cartacea (dicembre 2013) dal titolo New Approaches to Early Tudor Drama verterà su testi e spettacoli a partire dalla prima metà del XVII secolo.
