Strangeness in Jacobean Drama Paperback / softback
by Callan Davies
Part of the Studies in Performance and Early Modern Drama series
Paperback / softback
Description
Callan Davies presents “strangeness†as a fresh critical paradigm for understanding the construction and performance of Jacobean drama—one that would have been deeply familiar to its playwrights and early audiences.
This study brings together cultural analysis, philosophical enquiry, and the history of staged special effects to examine how preoccupation with the strange unites the verbal, visual, and philosophical elements of performance in works by Marston, Shakespeare, Middleton, Dekker, Heywood, and Beaumont and Fletcher.
Strangeness in Jacobean Drama therefore offers an alternative model for understanding this important period of English dramatic history that moves beyond categories such as “Shakespeare’s late plays,†“tragicomedy,†or the home of cynical and bloodthirsty tragedies.
This book will be of great interest to students and scholars of early modern drama and philosophy, rhetorical studies, and the history of science and technology.
