"For many people in early modern England the Reformation turned the past into another
country: the 'merry world'. Nostalgia for this imaginary time, both widespread and
widely contested, was commodified by a burgeoning entertainment industry. This book
offers a new perspective on the making of 'Merry England', arguing that it was driven
both by the desires of audiences and the marketing strategies of writers, publishers
and playing companies. Nostalgia in Print and Performance juxtaposes plays with ballads
and pamphlets, just as they were experienced by their first consumers. It argues that
these commercial fictions played a central role in promoting and shaping nostalgia.
At the same time, the fantasy of the merry world offered a powerfully affective language
for conceptualising longing. For playwrights like Shakespeare and others writing for
the commercial stage, it became a way to think through the dynamics of audience desire
and the aesthetics of repetition"
