Performing Childhood in the Early Modern Theatre

The Children's Playing Companies (1599-1613)

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book investigates how the Children of Paul's (1599-1606) and the Children of the Queen's Revels (1600-13) defined their players as children and, via an analysis of their plays and theatrical practices, it examines early modern theatre as a site in which children have the opportunity to articulate their emerging selfhoods.
