Bog beskrivelse

Despite the popularity of plays about the East, the representation of the East in early modern drama has been either overlooked, marginalized as footnotes or generalized into stereotypes. Materializing the East in Early Modern English Drama focuses on the multi-layered, often conflicting and changing perceptions of the East and how dramatic works made use of their respective theatrical space to represent the concept of the East in drama.

This volume re-examines the (mis)representation of the East on the early modern English outdoor and indoor stage and broadens our understanding of early modern theatrical productions beyond Shakespeare and the European continent. It traces the origin of conventional depictions of the East to university dramas and explores how they influenced the commercial stage. Chapters uncover how conflicting representations of the East were communicated on stage through the material aspects of stage architecture, costumes and performance effects.

The collection emphasizes these material aspects of dramatic performances and showcases neglected plays, including George Salterne’s Tomumbeius, Robert Greene''s The Historie of Orlando Furioso and Joseph Simons'' Leo the Armenian, and puts them in conversation with William Shakespeare''s The Tempest and John Fletcher''s The Island Princess.
