This book examines the influence of the early modern period on
Antonin Artaud's seminal work The Theatre and Its Double, arguing
that Elizabethan and Jacobean drama and their early modern context
are an integral part of the Theatre of Cruelty and essential to its
very understanding. The chapters draw links between the early
modern theatrical obsession with plague and regeneration, and how
it is mirrored in Artaud's concept of cruelty in the theatre. As a
discussion of the influence of Shakespeare and his contemporaries
on Artaud, and the reciprocal influence of Artaud on contemporary
interpretations of early modern drama, this book is an original
addition to both the fields of early modern theatre studies and
modern drama.
