This essay revisits current notions about early modern prologues and epilogues, by considering, for the first time, how differently these documents function on the stage and on the page. This essay thereby recovers previously untold, specifically non-performance-focused stories about the purpose of prologues and epilogues, looking at, but also beyond, their function as theatrical documents spoken in early modern playhouses to consider them as texts that found their way into printed playbooks.

Abstract
This essay revisits current notions about early modern prologues and epilogues, by considering, for the first time, how differently these documents function on the stage and on the page. This essay thereby recovers previously untold, specifically non-performance-focused stories about the purpose of prologues and epilogues, looking at, but also beyond, their function as theatrical documents spoken in early modern playhouses to consider them as texts that found their way into printed playbooks.File allegati a questo prodotto
