336 book reviews the eponymous part. Munro’s illuminating interpretation of the rich theatrical history of Pericles through the semantic dilation of the term “trafc,” combining the meanings related to sexual use, endurance, and proftable movement and exchange, is brilliantly brought together in an example of a truly new way of reading theatre history through micro-linguistic analysis. Munro shows that Pericles belongs to a cluster of plays engaging with the Mediterranean that the King’s Men produced around the same time. But the play’s origin in romance writing—in dramatizing the kind of narrative found in the wonder stories of the saints’ lives from the Golden Legend, stories that were the grounds for popular drama before the Reformation and thus well before the politics of the King’s Men repertory engaged with the Pericles story—adds a new layer of literary complexity in the process of transformation of material out of which such Mediterranean plays are formed. Te book’s organizing principle around “the questions of authority, service, commodity and collaboration” (177) is maintained consistently throughout. It is buttressed by a useful and detailed appendix of the Shakespearean plays in the King’s Men repertory between 1603 and 1642. Tis book will be of great interest to all readers of Shakespeare and drama of the seventeenth century, and to theatre historians and practitioners. It also provides a good model for new critical studies of other theatre companies associated with Shakespeare, and for the study of Shakespeare as part of a collaborative enterprise shaped by a company of players. goran stanivukovic Saint Mary’s University, Halifax https://doi.org/10.33137/rr.v43i3.35343 Pires, Tomé.
