Clarification
The original essays in Oxford 20-First Century Approaches to Literature hateful to provoke rather than reassure, to challenge rather than codify. Instead of summarizing existing knowledge, scholars working in the field aim at opening fresh word; instead of emphasizing settled consensus, they directly their readers to areas of enlivened and unresolved argue.
Following the models established by previous volumes in the Oxford Twenty-Showtime Century Approaches to Literature series, Early Modernistic Theatricality launches a new generation of scholarship on early modern drama past focusing on the rich formal capacities of theatrical performance. The collection gathers some of the almost innovative critics in the field to examine the techniques, objects, bodies, and conventions that characterized early modern theatricality, from the Tudor period to the Restoration. Taking their cues from a series of guiding keywords, the contributors place the fundamental features of theatricality in the period, using them to launch conceptually adventurous arguments. The volume generates fresh possibilities for criticism by combining historical, formal, and philosophical questions, in lodge to provoke our rediscovery of early modern drama in all its complication and inventiveness.
