Abstract "In this first-ever account of the broadsheet ballads sold outside playhouses, Tiffany Stern reveals how ballads were product-placed in the plays of Shakespeare and Jonson, after plays as jigs by Tarlton, Kemp and Armin, and merchandised as plot summaries for plays by Marlowe, Kyd, Shakespeare and others"-- Provided by publisher.
