"The Elizabethan Stage, Vol. 3" by E. K. Chambers is a historical account written in the early 20th century.

The book delves into the intricacies of staging practices, theatrical innovations, and the influence of earlier traditions on the development of stagecraft during the Renaissance. At the start of the work, Chambers introduces the topic of scenic representation in Elizabethan theatre, emphasizing the importance of stage settings to support the complex plots found in contemporary plays.
