This article overviews literary criticism on the English court masque during the early Stuart period. More specifically, this survey piece analyses a selection of major critical studies that focus attention on to the court masques of James I and Charles I, circa 1603–1641. The article begins in 1998 – the year that witnessed the last major collection of essays on the genre – and then progresses to the present year by way of various journal articles, chapters and monographs.
