  The succession to the throne was a burning topic not only in the final years of Elizabeth but well into the 1630s. This title analyzes some of the ways in which the dramatic works of the time - by Marlowe, Shakespeare, Webster and Ford among others - reflect, negotiate and dream the issue of the succession to the throne.
