In the welter of competing forms of historical thought, early modern drama often operated as a site in which claims about the nature of historical change could be treated in their frequently conflicting variety. To explore this field of competing forms of historical explanation, Untimely Death in Renaissance Drama focuses on the problem of narrative abruption in a selection of historically-minded early modern plays as they rely on various strategies to make sense of biography and fatality. Arguing that narrative forms fail in the face of untimely death, Andrew Griffin shows that the disruption appears as matter of trauma, making the untimely death both a point of narrative conflict and a social problem. Exploring the formula that early modern dramatists used to make sense of lives and deaths, this book draws on the wider context of the period's culture of history writing."-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (pages 173-188) and index. 648 7 $a 1500-1699 $2 fast 650 0 $a English drama $y Early modern and Elizabethan, 1500-1600 $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a English drama $y 17th century $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a History in literature. 650 0 $a Death in literature. 650 7 $a Death in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00888697 650 7 $a English drama. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00910737 650 7 $a English drama $x Early modern and Elizabethan. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01710950 650 7 $a History in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00958338 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20220317022225.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=83125FC41BE411EA82BF083097128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
