This argument is pursued chronologically through individual case studies: two editions of Foxe's Acts and Monuments (1576, 1589), the Marprelate tracts (1588-89), the early quartos of Hamlet (1603-04), Donne's Pseudo-Martyr and An Anatomy of the World (1610-11), and Milton's Areopagitica (1644). Lander considers such diverse moments of religious and print interventions as the Marprelate texts, Foxe's Book of Martyrs, the first and second quartos of Hamlet, and Milton's Areopagitica. Scott McMillin and Sally-Beth MacLean, in The Queen's Men and their Plays ([Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1998], 52-53, 155-60), examine closely the fortunes of the Queen's Men at the end of the 1580s, and they attribute the downward spin of their fortune to the deaths of key players, namely John Bentley, William Knell, and Richard Tarlton; to their role in the Martin Marprelate controversy; but also to the rise of the Admiral's Men onstage with Tamburlaine. |
