Richard Preiss presents a lively and provocative study of how the early modern stage clown defined - and changed - theatrical experience. Recovering the interactive entertainments with which comedians including Richard Tarlton, Will Kemp and Robert Armin engaged audiences, he draws new conclusions about how early modern theatre negotiated its own textuality.
