This book provides a fascinating study into the history of
kingship, madness and masculinity that was acted out on the early
modern stage. Providing students of early modern history, theatre
and performance studies and disability studies with interesting
case studies to inform their upper level seminars and research.
Throughout the volume the authors engage with the field of
disability studies to show how disability and mental health were
portrayed and what that tells us about the period and the people
who lived in it. Showing students, a new dimension of early modern
Europe. The chapters uncover how, as the early modern understanding
of mental illness re-focused on human, rather than supernatural,
causes, the public stages became important arenas for playwrights,
actors, and audiences to explore expressions of madness and to
practice diagnoses. Enabling students from multiple disciplines
such as the history of medicine, the history of theatre and
performance and the history of early modern Europe to see the how
attitudes formed and changed around kingship, madness and
masculinity in this period.
