Staging the Renaissance / Edition 1

by David Scott Kastan, Peter Stallybrass

Overview

The essays in Staging the Renaissance show the theatre to be the site of a rich confluence of cultural forces, the place where social meanings are both formed and transformed. The volume unites some of the most challenging issues in contemporary Renaissance studies and some of our best-known critics, including Stephen Orgel, Margaret Ferguson, Catherine Belsey, Jonathan Goldberg, Marjorie Garber, Lisa Jardine, and Jonathan Dollimore— demonstrating the variety and vitality not only of contemporary criticism, but of Renaissance drama itself.
