Commedia dell' Arte and the Mediterranean

Charting Journeys and Mapping 'Others'

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Drawing on published collections and manuscripts from Mantuan archives, this study locates commedia dell' arte as a performance form reflective of its cultural crucible in the Mediterranean. It provides a broad perspective on commedia dell' arte as an expression of cultural, gender and language communities in Italy during the early-modern period, and explores the ways in which the art form reflected on power and cultural exchange.
