Book Synopsis
The actors of the commedia dell arte (the sixteenth-century Italian professional theater) usually
did not perform from scripted drama. They improvised their performances from a shared plot and
thorough knowledge of individual character roles. Robert Henke analyzes commedia dell arte texts
to demonstrate how the spoken word and written literature were combined in performance. Henke
examines primary sources including performance accounts, actors contracts, letters and other
documents.
