Performing Pedagogy in Early Modern England: Gender, Instruction,
and Performance features essays questioning the extent to which
education, an activity pursued in the home, classroom, and the
church, led to, mirrored, and was perhaps even transformed by
moments of instruction on stage. This volume argues that along with
the popular press, the early modern stage is also a key pedagogical
site and that education"performed and performative"plays a central
role in gender construction. The wealth of sixteenth- and
seventeenth-century printed and manuscript documents devoted to
education (parenting guides, conduct books, domestic manuals,
catechisms, diaries, and autobiographical writings) encourages
examination of how education contributed to the formation of
gendered and hierarchical structures, as well as the production,
reproduction, and performance of masculinity and femininity. In
examining both dramatic and non-dramatic texts via aspects of
performance theory, this collection explores the ways education
instilled formal academic knowledge, but also elucidates how
educational practices disciplined students as members of their
social realm, citizens of a nation, and representatives of their
gender.
