379: Discussing: Leicester's Men & Their Plays with Laurie Johnson

We have a new discussion with Professor Laurie Johnson about Leicester's Men, the playing company that ran throughout the early Elizabethan years of professional playing, whose make up, structure and plays have been difficult to pin down. But luckily, Professor Johnson has written a rather excellent book pinning all these as close to down as we might ever get. This was recorded a year ago - apologies to Laurie for the wait! It's currently (still) a tad bit pricey, but hopefully it will drop down to a more affordable price. https://www.cambridge.org/gb/universitypress/subjects/literature/renaissance-and-early-modern-literature/leicesters-men-and-their-plays-early-elizabethan-playing-company-and-its-legacy?format=HB  Laurie Johnson is Professor in English and Cultural Studies at the University of Southern Queensland and, since 2016, has served as President of the Australian and New Zealand Shakespeare Association.
