New Directions in Renaissance Drama and Performance Studies

Editat de S. Werner

en Limba Engleză Hardback – 7 mai 2010

This collection asks pressing questions about how and why we study performances of Renaissance drama, challenging prevailing views and suggesting new methodologies for the field. How does an emphasis on Shakespeare limit us? What can we learn from non-traditional theatre? Why should we rethink the value of studying what happens onstage?
