Book excerpt: Excerpt from University Studies of the University of Nebraska, Vol. 13 The story of the first London theatre, from the date of its inception by James Burbage in 1576 to the full florescence of Shakespeare in 1599, has a human interest of its own, and at the same time furnishes a historical background of some of the intimate personal conditions that made the dramatic and histrionic achievements of Shakespeare and his associates at the Globe supreme. That story, based upon a large collection of documents, bringing us into close personal contact with Richard and Cuthbert Burbage, their father, and the life in and about the Theatre, may here be told in a brief survey of the human side as a help to the student in unraveling the voluminous records. The complete history, with other added documents, must wait yet awhile. Around the business arrangements made for building and managing the Theatre, centre the records of the Burbage-Brayne controversy, ranging over a period of nearly twenty years; and about the destruction of the Theatre in 1598, grew the voluminous documents of the Burbage-Allen litigation of 1599 to 1602, recounting their business relations from the first. It is these two interwoven series of records that the present collection presents in entirety. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
