Shifting Paradigms in Early English Drama Studies

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

The essays selected for this volume are chosen to reflect the important and intersecting ways in which, over the last forty years, Meg Twycross has shifted paradigms for people reading early English religious drama. The focus of Meg Twycross's research has been on performance in its many aspects, and this volume chooses four of the most important strands of her work - the York plays; new ways of understanding acting and performance in late medieval theatre; why scenes are staged in the ways they are, verbally and by extrapolation visually; and the attention paid to wider contexts of medieval theatre - concentrating especially on essays that are not easily available today.
