James D Mardock

Our Scene is London

Ben Jonson's City and the Space of the Author

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

With its three-part rubric of London, drama, and space, this study brings to the currently vigorous critical discussion of Jonsonian authorship the sense of how another sort of dramatic text-that of London's spaces as interpreted through dramatic practice both in the streets of the city and on its stages-is also an integral factor in the emergence of the early modern author.
