The present collection of essays, devoted to this collaborative play, brings together contributors from Italy and the UK, who explore the work, from very different angles, throwing light on its deep significance in the Early Modem period, but also its continued relevance for critics, practitioners and audiences to-day. The present publication, divided into three main sections, reflect-ing these different perspectives, is the most recent in a series of critical essays, From Page to Stage, started by the late Prof. Mariangela Tempera; she was among a small minority of academics in late 20th century Italy, who believed that theatre studies, should combine a rigorous textual analysis of a play in its historical, social and political context, combined with careful study of the play in performance. This inspirational figure lives on in this critical collection, but also in all those people, who were her friends and colleagues, the students she taught at the University of Ferrara and in schools in and around the city.
