早期现代街道直到最近才成为一个研究的主题领域，这是由于人们对城市空间的兴趣日益浓厚，以及它是如何通过社会互动形成的。这表明空间问题和物质文化已经成为当代理解和解释过去的关键概念，大英博物馆为2012年文化奥林匹克贡献的展览和随附目录从这些方面考虑了莎士比亚的戏剧。《莎士比亚：演绎世界》是著名的莎士比亚学者乔纳森·贝特和大英博物馆欧洲文艺复兴馆长多拉·桑顿成功合作的结果。这本书和展览一样，巧妙地将地形和年代编织在一起，揭示了莎士比亚创作的关键空间——伦敦是演出地点，但罗马和威尼斯也代表了伦敦——以及将戏剧叙事锚定在这些地方的材料文物。在为莎士比亚的作品提供一个清晰的解释框架的同时，贝特和桑顿使用了物质文化的完整军械库来支撑他们的讨论，并阐明了展览布局和书中章节的顺序。亲笔手稿，早期印刷作品，赞助人肖像，以及阿登和沃里克郡的挂毯地图构成了一个核心框架。然而，真正揭示这一时期的是与日常生活无关的物品，并为早期现代伦敦剧院世界的背景化观点增添了质感和意义。因此，当尤利乌斯·凯撒的写作与1604年3月15日在伦敦为纪念詹姆斯一世而准备的古典胜利联系在一起时，这一章讲述了古典文化的采用以及历史剧中过去和现在之间复杂的相互关系，这种接近性是形成的
Early modern streets have only recently emerged as a subject area for research, driven by a growing interest in urban space and how it is fashioned through social interactions. It is an indication of the extent to which spatial concerns and material culture have become key concepts in contemporary ways of understanding and interpreting the past that the exhibition and accompanying catalogue for the British Museum’s contribution to the 2012 Cultural Olympiad considered Shakespeare’s theater in these terms. Shakespeare: Staging the World was the result of successful collaboration between leading Shakespeare scholar Jonathan Bate, and Dora Thornton, curator for Renaissance Europe at the British Museum. The book, like the exhibition, deftly weaves together topography and chronology to reveal the key spaces of Shakespeare’s production—London as the site of performance, but Rome and Venice as standing for London too—and the material artifacts that anchor the narrative of the plays to those places.While offering a clear interpretative frame for Shakespeare’s works, Bate and Thornton use the full armory of material culture to underpin their discussion and to articulate the sequence of the exhibition layout and the book chapters. Autograph manuscripts, early printed works, portraits of patrons, and tapestry maps of Arden and Warwickshire constitute a core framework. However, it is the tangential everyday objects that really shed new light on the period, and add texture and meaning to this contextualized view of early modern London’s theatergoing world. Thus, while the association of the writing of Julius Caesar to the classical triumph prepared in London in honor of James I on 15 March 1604 informs a chapter on the adoption of classical culture and the complex interrelation woven between past and present in that history play, that proximity is made
