Produktbeschreibung

This volume investigates the early modern understanding of twinship, discussing twins appearing in anatomy tracts, midwifery manuals, monstrous birth broadsides, chapbooks, and early modern drama. The book contextualizes dramatic representations of twinship, investigating contemporary discussions in medical and popular literature and how such dialogues resonate with the twin characters appearing on the early modern stage.
