What reading level is The Elizabethan Playhouse book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Such a passage as this last, could a contemporary of ours write it as a play, would be cut out as trespassing on the prerogatives of the stage carpenter.
Of late several experimental Elizabethan stages have been con- structed abroad and here at home; and a German ingenuity has been at work to discover the constructive principles of the old London theatres, and to derive therefrom the dramaturgical theory of Elizabethan stage presentation. An interesting stage was employed, a few years since, at... Leland Stanford University in California, in a successful presentation of Beaumont and Fletcher's "Knight of the Burning Pestle." (Fig. 59.) On this stage the curtain or traverse was arranged between the "pilas- ters." This complete shutting off, by means of a curtain drawn, of the rear balcony and of all exits has led to what has been called "the alternation theory," a theory developed of late years in the hands of several German scholars. Briefly stated, "the alternation theory" assumes that an Elizabethan dramatic per- formance was invariably continuous, and that the properties were habitually confined to the rear stage.
