In this title, first published in 1985, Michael Bristol draws on several theoretical and critical traditions to study the nature and purpose of theatre as a social institution: on Marxism, and its revisions in the work of Mikhail Bakhtin; on the theories of Emile Durkheim and their adaptations in the work of Victor Turner; and on the history of social life and material culture as practiced by the Annales school. This valuable work is an important contribution to literary criticism, theatre studies and social history and has particular importance for scholars interested in the dramatic literature of Elizabethan England.

This monograph is a model essay on the functioning of a municipal German-language theatre, and it introduces a new view into research led by both theatre scientists and musicologists on the European scene. The book is conceived as social history of a citizen's cultural institution and interprets a wide range of problematic themes which we meet to this day in the everyday practice of municipal theatres.

Gewaltdarstellungen im mittelalterlichen Spiel waren schon lange vor dem 'Cultural Turn' ein häufig diskutierter Gegenstand der Theatergeschichte; jetzt werden sie neu bewertet. Auf der Grundlage aktueller sozialgeschichtlicher Untersuchungen werden die Parameter der Theatergeschichte im Zeitraum von 1470–1570 hinterfragt. Als ein wichtiger Schlüssel zum Verständnis der Gewalt im älteren Drama wird das Verhältnis zwischen violentia, vis und potestas, den drei Facetten des Begriffs 'Gewalt', konstatiert. Gewalt tritt hier nicht als isoliertes Phänomen auf, sondern eher als ein (Ausdrucks-)Mittel der Macht. So diskutieren Dramentext und Aufführung die Legitimität von Herrschaftsgewalt.
