Welcome to the bustling scene of the other plays from Shakespeare’s time, when London audiences thronged to the new public theaters. Complementing the Folger’s unsurpassed resources on Shakespeare’s works, we introduce you here to hundreds of surviving plays by other authors and dozens of full play texts.

I’ll share this here since it came up in discussion following today’s read-through. This looks like a great new resource, in case there’s interest in SocShakes branching out into works by Shakespeare’s contemporaries.

Revenge, that thirsty dropsy of our souls, Makes us covet that which hurts us most.

Massinger. Many Thoughts of Many Minds by Henry Southgate, 1902.
