What reading level is Government Regulation of Elizabethan Drama book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It is notable that throughout the decade this is the argument against plays which the municipality chiefly emphasizes, — that they serve as the rendezvous for rascals, nests of crime, and places of demoraliza- tion for the apprentices. The Puritan contention that theatrical performances are in themselves sinful, and draw down the wrath of God, is scarcely brought forward, — in contrast to the course of the argument during the years 1 580-1 584. The Privy Coun- cil, on its side, seems at times t...o have acquired something of the Puritan attitude. In 1593, for instance, it forbids plays at the 1 Acts, XXIX, 132-133, 140, 206. 178 179 universities, because they may corrupt the students and allure them to "lewdness and vicious manners. " ' The danger of fo- menting crime and disorder that arose from the London theaters, the Lords frankly recognized and tried to guard against. Though they continued to grant privileges to the few favored companies needed for the Queen's amusement, they passed at times ex- tremely severe orders against the other theaters, — measures severe in their conception, at least, but never rigorously carried out.
