Automata and Mimesis on the Stage of Theatre History

en Limba Engleză Hardback – 26 aug 2011

Chapters include examinations of Iconoclasm's fear that art might surpass nature, the Cartesian mind/body divide, automata as objects of courtly desire, the uncanny Olympia, and the revolutionary Robots in post-WWI drama.
