In this highly original and energetic study, Theodore B. Leinwand views Jacobean theater--particularly Jacobean city comedy--as a measure of the way Londoners of the time perceived each other.

Central to Leinwand's thesis is the belief that Jacobean theater was shaped by the city, and that in turn the theater both crystallized and criticized the attitudes of city dwellers for city dwellers.
