The original essays in Oxford Twenty-First Century Approaches to
Literature mean to provoke rather than reassure, to challenge
rather than codify. Instead of summarizing existing knowledge,
scholars working in the field aim at opening fresh discussion;
instead of emphasizing settled consensus, they direct their readers
to areas of enlivened and unresolved debate. Following the models
established by previous volumes in the Oxford Twenty-First Century
Approaches to Literature series, Early Modern Theatricality
launches a new generation of scholarship on early modern drama by
focusing on the rich formal capacities of theatrical performance.
The collection gathers some of the most innovative critics in the
field to examine the techniques, objects, bodies, and conventions
that characterized early modern theatricality, from the Tudor
period to the Restoration. Taking their cues from a series of
guiding keywords, the contributors identify the fundamental
features of theatricality in the period, using them to launch
conceptually adventurous arguments. The volume generates fresh
possibilities for criticism by combining historical, formal, and
philosophical questions, in order to provoke our rediscovery of
early modern drama in all its complexity and inventiveness.
