'The First Night of Twelfth Night' by Leslie Hotson. Rupert Hart-Davis, 1954. Hardback, 256 pp. Black and white photographic illustrations. Lacking a detailed index (which is a pity), though there is an 'Index of Interpretations' instead. Fair condition, with, alas, one badly stained page (where a newspaper cutting may well have slumbered for many decades), and some foxing to the blocks and endpapers. Professor Hotson (as he later became) was one of those Shakespearean scholars who always wrote both fluently and stylishly, while at the same time breaking new ground as a result of some invariably brilliant research. This account of the build-up to Twelfth Night's very first performance in Whitehall Palace, and in the presence of Queen Elizabeth moreover, almost reads like a good novel, and is a real page-turner throughout, revealing the international diplomatic context (and consequences: for instance, in both Rome and Muscovy) of this momentous occasion. Anyone who loves Shakespeare should possess a copy of this excellent book.
