Records of Early English Drama: Editorial Support
This project will edit and prepare for the publication of the London Inns of Court and Civil London to 1558 in the Records of Early English Drama.
University of Puget Sound requests NEH funding to support the Records of Early English Drama (REED) project's editorial office in editing and processing for publication two major collections of dramatic records--the London Inns of Court and Civic London to 1558--that significantly advance our understanding of medieval and early modern English drama. The Inns of Court collection provides evidence of dramatic activity ranging from performances of Shakespeare plays to entertainments mounted by the lawyers themselves. The Civic London to 1558 collection documents the dramatic activities of London's civic government and of its guilds and corporations, from private performances of plays to elaborate pageantry in the streets of the city. REED's editorial staff ensures the completeness and accuracy of the published collections and editorial apparatus, and provides essential support to online dissemination of results through the Patrons and Performances website.
