Opis

Using a set of detailed case studies, this book analyses medieval and early modern court culture as inherently performative.

Recenzje

'Using a range of evidence found in both texts and pictures, The Language of Space develops a theoretical vocabulary from disciplines as disparate as dance and architecture, creating a new language with which to discuss space in court performance, public spectacle, and early modern theatre.' Hannah Leah Crummé, Notes and Queries
