Hardcover, 9004149287., As New with no dust jacket, Literature|Drama|Medieval Literature|Renaissance Literature|Theatre|Theater|Middle Ages|Medieval Theater|Renaissance, From the series 'Studies in Medieval and Reformation Traditions: History, Culture, Religion, Ideas' volume 113. No volume about the spectacles and public performances of early modern England could pretend to treat comprehensively a body of materials so conspicuously vast. Rather than efforts to survey the territory, these essays are best understood in the original sense of the term as “essays”—as trials, attempts, experiments to open alternative ways of understanding that vast corpus of mystery plays, civic pageants, court masques and professional dramas that constitute its subject. The book crosses traditional period lines, including studies of Medieval as well as Renaissance entertainments. Once more, the essays are not organized according to a single critical or historical methodology. They employ an eclectic range of interpretive practices, reflecting the variety of interpretive approaches now current in the field.; tall 8vo 9"-10" tall; 264 pp., [PU: Brill Academic Publishers]<
