Anne Barton's final book uncovers woodland's persistent imaginative power in renaissance drama. Paying close attention to the practicalities of performance, the collection is representative of Barton's breadth of scholarship: it considers plays by Shakespeare and his contemporaries, court pageants, treatises on forestry and chronicle history.
