Studies in performance and early modern drama
Inhalt:
Callan Davies presents strangeness as a fresh critical paradigm for understanding the construction and performance of Jacobean drama--one that would have been deeply familiar to its playwrights and early audiences. This study brings together cultural analysis, philosophical enquiry, and the history of staged special effects to examine how preoccupation with the strange unites the verbal, visual, and philosophical elements of performance in works by Marston,Shakespeare, Middleton, Dekker, Heywood, and Beaumont and Fletcher. Strangeness in JacobeanDramatherefore offers an alternative model for understanding this important period of English dramatic history that moves beyond categories such as Shakespeare's late plays, tragicomedy, or the home of cynical and bloodthirsty tragedies. This bookwill be of great interest to students and scholars of early modern drama and philosophy, rhetorical studies, and the history of science and technology
