Abstract

This is the first Russian translation of several theatre-related excerpts from John Northbrooke’s treatise against idle pastimes originally published in 1577. Little known as it is, Northbrooke’s treatise is important as the opening piece in the theatrical controversy that raged intermittently in England from the late 16th to mid-17th centuries. The publication also includes a historical and biographical introduction and commentary, which covers the glosses provided by Northbrooke.
