Katharine Goodland

Female Mourning and Tragedy in Medieval and Renaissance English Drama (eBook, ePUB)

From the Raising of Lazarus to King Lear

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Looking at the plays of Shakespeare, Kyd, and Webster this book presents a new perspective on early modern drama grounded upon three original interrelated points. The author explores how the motif of the mourning woman on the early modern stage embodies the cultural trauma of the Reformation in England; brings to light the extent to which the figures of early modern drama recall those of the recent medieval past; and addresses how these representations embody actual mourning practices that were, after the Reformation, increasingly viewed as disturbing.
