These essays of Sarah Carpenter have been selected to reflect her
career's close focus on the relationship of performance and
audience. They are drawn from the last 25 years of her writing, and
this has enabled the editors to organise them not chronologically
but rather to develop her central theme through a range of genres,
including morality plays, the interlude, court entertainments,
international political spectacle, and the public 'performances' of
natural and maintained fools. As a scholar who also has experience
of acting and of production, Carpenter is particularly sensitive to
the implications of location for creating meaning and generating
audience reaction. The essays are focused on a relatively short
time-span of 120 years, from the late fifteenth to the turn of the
seventeenth century, and thus nuance a period traditionally divided
between the late medieval and the early-modern, and between
Catholicism and Protestantism. Carpenter shows how the dynamics of
theatrical engagement in which the roles of audience and performer
are frequently mixed or even reversed offer a more creative route
to understanding how the individual and society respond to change.
