William Percy's Mahomet and His Heaven: A Critical Edition
ISBN: 9780754654063 / Angielski / Twarda / 266 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. William Percy's Mahomet and His Heaven (1601) is extraordinary.

Roughly contemporary with Shakespeare's Othello, William Percy makes the remarkable and...

The impact such a model had on the staging of the human form in English professional theatre is also explored in appraisals of: (i) the homo-erotic significance of a two-sex paradigm; (ii) social and theatrical cross-dressing; (iii) the uses of theatrical androgyny; (iv)...
