Through a consideration of a range of plays, including Doctor Faustus and Richard III, Genevieve Love argues that the figure of the physically disabled prosthetic body in early modern English theatre mediates a set of related 'likeness problems' that structure the theatrical, textual, and critical lives of the plays of Shakespeare and his contemporaries. The figure of disability stands for the relationship between actor and character: prosthetic disabled characters with names such as Cripple and Stump capture the simultaneous presence of the fictional and the material, embodied world of the theatre. When the figure of the disabled body exits the stage, it also mediates a second problem of likeness, between plays in their performed and textual forms. While supposedly imperfect textual versions of plays have been characterized as 'lame', the dynamic movement of prosthetic disabled characters in the theatre expands the figural role which disability performs in the relationship between plays on the stage and on the page. Early Modern Theatre and the Figure of Disability reveals how attention to physical disability enriches our understanding of early modern ideas about how theatre works, while illuminating in turn how theatre offers a reframing of disability as metaphor"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (pages 194-207) and index. 505 0 $a Introduction: disability and/as theatricality -- The work of standing and of standing-for: disability, movement, theatrical personation in The fair maid of the exchange -- The sound of prosthetic movement: transnational and temporal analogy in A larum for London -- "Faustus has his legge again": truncation and prosthesis, theatricality and bibliography in Doctor Faustus -- Richard's "giddy footing": degree of difference and cyclical movement in Shakespeare's Richard III. 650 0 $a English drama $y Early modern and Elizabethan, 1500-1600 $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a People with disabilities in literature. 650 0 $a People with disabilities and the performing arts. 650 0 $a Human body in literature. 650 0 $a Theater $z Great Britain $x History. 650 7 $a English drama $x Early modern and Elizabethan. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01710950 650 7 $a Human body in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01899762 650 7 $a People with disabilities and the performing arts. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01057362 650 7 $a People with disabilities in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01057365 650 7 $a Theater. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01149217 651 7 $a Great Britain. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204623 648 7 $a 1500-1600 $2 fast 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 776 08 $i Online version: $a Love, Genevieve, author. $t Early modern theatre and the figure of disability $d London ; New York : The Arden Shakespeare/Bloomsbury Academic, 2018 $z 9781350017214 $w (DLC) 2018048566 830 0 $a Arden studies in early modern drama. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191120032030.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=81D0E01A462211E9A3F20F6897128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
