| Abstract | "Kingship, Madness, and Masculinity examines representations of mad kings in early modern English theatrical texts and performance practices. Altogether, the essays question what happens when theatrical expressions of madness are mapped onto the bodies of actors playing kings, and how the threat of diminished masculinity affects representations of power. This volume is the ideal resource for students and scholars interested in the history of kingship, gender, and politics in early modern drama"-- Provided by publisher. |
