First published 1984. Largely comprises transcriptions of documents [117], with extensive explanatory notes, relating to the Rose Playhouse, arranged in chronological order and providing 'an all-round portrait'; it is in effect a calendar of documents. Several relate to the origins and management of the theatre and to its creator and owner, the dyer, Philip Henslowe. The contents include: introductory chapters including much about Henslowe; 'The documents' [pp36-228]; appendices reproducing relevant statutes; extensive indexes
