Staging Pain, 1580-1800 (eBook, PDF)

Violence and Trauma in British Theater
Redaktion: Allard, James Robert

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

This collection foregrounds two crucial moments in the histories of pain, trauma, and their staging in British Theater: the establishment of secular and professional theater in London in the 1580s, and the growing dissatisfaction with theatrical modes of public punishment by 1800. Whether focused on individual plays or broad concerns, these essays offer a new and important contribution to the increasingly interrelated histories of pain, the body, and the theater.
