Conclusion
520 This is a highly original study, which offers an
innovative new approach towards the study of early modern
drama. This book examines the work of the Elizabethan
playwright, Robert Greene, arguing that his plays are
innovative in their use of spectacle. This study's most
striking feature is the use of the one-to-one analogies
between Greene's drama and modern cinema, in order to
explore the plays' stage effects. While recent
Shakespearean criticism interprets his drama through the
lens of performance, criticism of non-Shakespearean drama
continues to disconnect the plays from even the scarce
performances of them today. This book aims to bring the
study of performance into the realm of non-Shakespearean
drama so that the plays of Shakespeare's contemporaries
might not descend further into obscurity. This innovative
study advocates the rejection of a purely text-based
interpretation of drama and emphasizes the powerful visual
dimension of the early modern stage
