"Shakespeare at the Globe, 1599-1609" by Bernard Beckerman is a scholarly historical account written in the early 1960s. The book delves into the formative years of Shakespeare's career, particularly focusing on the operations and productions of the Globe Theatre during its peak from 1599 to 1609. It is aimed at readers interested in literary history, theatrical practices, and the dynamics of the Elizabethan stage, offering insights into both the plays performed and the broader cultural implications of this pivotal period in theater. At the start of the book, Beckerman sets the scene by discussing the significance of the Globe Theatre as the primary venue for the Lord Chamberlain's Men, the company to which Shakespeare belonged. He outlines the major transformations in theatrical practices that occurred with the establishment of the Globe, emphasizing the shifts in audience, repertoire, and Shakespeare’s own evolving style during this decade. The opening portion highlights the interplay between popular appeal and artistic ambition as it concerns the repertory system that dictated the company's performance schedule, the wide variety of plays produced, and the eventual rise in complexity and depth in Shakespeare’s works, all while navigating the economic and social structures of the time.
