Sara Morrison

Staging the Blazon in Early Modern English Theater (eBook, PDF)

Redaktion: Uman, Deborah

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

Offering the first sustained and comprehensive scholarly consideration of the dramatic potential of the blazon, this volume complicates what has become a standard reading of the Petrarchan convention of dismembering the beloved through poetic description. At the same time, it contributes to a growing understanding of the relationship between the material conditions of theatre and interpretations of plays by Shakespeare and his contemporaries.
