Subject Stages

Marriage, Theatre and the Law in Early Modern Spain

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Subject Stages argues that the discourses and practices of marital legislation, litigation, and theatrics informed each other in early modern Spain in ways that still have a critical bearing on contemporary events in Spain, such as the legalization of divorce in 1978 and of same-sex marriage in 2005.
