Note 1 — Chapter Four THE ACTING

Alfred Harbage, “Elizabethan Acting,” P.M.L.A., LIV (1939), 687. Although Professor Harbage modified his views later (“B. L. Joseph, Elizabethan Acting,” S.Q., II (1951), 360-361. A Review.) and arrived at the position that I describe on pp. 157 ff., his original thesis has served as the basis for most discussion of the subject and may well be used as a point of departure. In Theatre for Shakespeare (Toronto, 1955), he reprints his original article as a “personal indulgence.”
