Disguise devices figure in many early modern English plays, and an
examination of them clearly affords an important reflection on the
growth of early theatre as well as on important aspects of the
developing nation. In this study Peter Hyland considers a range of
practical issues related to the performance of disguise. He goes on
to examine various conceptual issues that provide a background to
theatrical disguise (the relation of self and "other", the meaning
of mask and performance). He looks at many disguise plays under
three broad headings. He considers moral issues (the almost
universal association of disguise with "evil"); social issues
(sumptuary legislation, clothing, and the theatre, and
constructions of class, gender and national or racial identity);
and aesthetic issues (disguise as an emblem of theatre, and the
significance of disguise for the dramatic artist). The study serves
to examine the significant ways in which disguise devices have been
used in early modern drama in England.
