Callan Davies presents "strangeness" as a fresh critical paradigm
for understanding the construction and performance of Jacobean
drama-one that would have been deeply familiar to its playwrights
and early audiences. This study brings together cultural analysis,
philosophical enquiry, and the history of staged special effects to
examine how preoccupation with the strange unites the verbal,
visual, and philosophical elements of performance in works by
Marston, Shakespeare, Middleton, Dekker, Heywood, and Beaumont and
Fletcher. Strangeness in Jacobean Drama therefore offers an
alternative model for understanding this important period of
English dramatic history that moves beyond categories such as
"Shakespeare's late plays," "tragicomedy," or the home of cynical
and bloodthirsty tragedies. This book will be of great interest to
students and scholars of early modern drama and philosophy,
rhetorical studies, and the history of science and technology.
