YATES, Frances A. DEE, John JONES, Inigo FLUDD, Robert Theatre of the World. 2nd UK in dj.
Routledge & Kegan Paul Ltd, London and Henley, 1978,
YATES, Frances A. Theatre of the World. London and Henley: Routledge & Kegan Paul, (1978). Second U.K. Printing Pp. (4),v-xiv,1-218, frontispiece + 25p. of plates. Illustrated. 8vo, green cloth, gilt lettering to spine. A su rvey of Tudor and Jacobean English drama and theatre, as influenced by Renaissance philosophy and Vitruvian predecessors. "The central theme of the book is the presentation of John Dee and Robert Fludd as representatives of Renaissance thought in England. There is particular reference to the evidence in their works of the Renaissance revival of Vitruvius, the classical writer on architecture. Dee's Preface to Euclid, in which he makes long quotations from Vitruvius and Alberti, connects with the popular scientific movement in late Tudor London, which is thus shown to owe something to Vitruvius. Dr. Yates demostrates the Robert Fludd's Utriusque Cosmi Historia continues the themes of Dee's Preface. The English Vitruvian movement carries on to Inigo Jones who, it is suggested here, would have been influenced by the Dee-Fludd tradition. The English public theatre is here studied as an adaptation of the Vitruvian ancient theatre with its cosmological proportions, and as one of the products of the Euclidian and Vitruvian movement amongst the artisan classes, to whom Dee expresses himself. Through this entirely new approach it is possible to situate Shakespeare's Globe Theatre within thecontext of great European movements. [...]." - from the dust-jacket. Conte nts: 1.
