Produktbeschreibung

French Renaissance and Baroque Drama helps us rethink pressing issues of the day, such as war, possession, sacrifice, religious conversion, law, and gender. This volume includes essays that employ a range of cutting-edge approaches to elucidate questions such as the social, religious, legal, and political functions of drama, how the staged body transmits emotions to the audience, and the ways in which drama creates communities of inclusion and exclusion, especially during times of conflict.
