Konrad Eisenbichler
4.9/5 (18878 ratings)
Description:From the Fool to the Wildman, from the irate Reformer to the festive Masqueraders, this collection of articles offers a variety of topics, approaches, and agendas in the study of early modern European theatre. With samplings from Scandinavia, Germany, England, France, the Iberian peninsula, and even the New World, this collection also spans time, from the late fifteenth century to the present. In the process, Carnival and the carnivalesque are examined from archival, Bakhtinian, cultural, and even political points of view. The articles in this collection reveal the variety and inherent vitality of scholarship in early modern theatre. The thirteen essays have been selected from presentations made at the Eighth Triennial Congress of the Societe Internationale pour l'Etude du Theatre Medieval held in Toronto (1995), under the auspices of the Records of Early English Drama project and Victoria University in the University of Toronto."Contents:Konrad EISENBICHLER: Introduction.
