Laura Weigert brings together a wealth of visual artifacts and practices to explore this tradition of late medieval performance taking place, not in 'theaters', but in churches, courts, and streets. By stressing the theatricality rather than the realism of fifteenth-century visual culture and the spectacular rather than the devotional nature of its effects, she offers a new way of thinking about late medieval representation and spectatorship. She shows how images that document medieval performance instead revise its characteristic features to conform to a play-going experience associated with classical antiquity. This retrospective vision of a late medieval performance tradition contributed to its demise in sixteenth-century France and promoted assumptions about medieval theater that continue to inform the contemporary disciplines of art and theater history"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 505 0 $a Introduction: From Theatricality to Theater -- "Vocamus Personagias": The Figures of Ephemeral Stagings -- "Ouvrez vos yeux et regardez": Illuminated Passion Plays and the Commemoration of Performance -- "Faire Semblant": Make Believe and the Experience of Heroic Battles -- "Cy s'ensuit le MysteÌre": Creating a Spectator and a Reader of Plays -- "C'eÌtait qu'un jeu industrieux": Artifice and Authenticity in the Devil's Play -- Conclusion: Mysterious Ends 1548-1577. 650 0 $a Theater in art. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85134572 650 0 $a Art and society $z France $x History $y To 1500. 650 0 $a Art and society $z France $x History $y 16th century. 650 0 $a Theater and society $z France $x History $y To 1500. 650 0 $a Theater and society $z France $x History $y 16th century. 650 0 $a Performing arts $x History $z France $x History $y To 1500. 650 0 $a Performing arts $x History $z France $x History $y 16th century. 650 7 $a Art and society. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00815432 650 7 $a Performing arts $x Social aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01057933 650 7 $a Theater and society. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01149315 650 7 $a Theater in art. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01149338 651 7 $a France. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204289 648 7 $a To 1599 $2 fast 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411628 $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411628 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191210022104.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=4105C5E4EB9E11E7A465B32097128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
