And what did the terms 'finished' or 'incomplete' mean for dramatists and their audiences in this period? Making and unmaking in early modern English drama is about the significance of visual things that are 'under construction' in works by playwrights including Shakespeare, Robert Greene and John Lyly. Illustrated with examples from across visual and material culture, it opens up new interpretations of the place of aesthetic form in the early modern imagination. Plays are explored as a part of a lively post-Reformation visual culture, alongside a diverse range of contexts and themes, including iconoclasm, painting, sculpture, clothing and jewellery, automata and invisibility. Asking what it meant for Shakespeare and his contemporaries to 'begin' or 'end' a literary or visual work, this book is essential reading for scholars and students of early modern English drama, literature, visual culture and history.English dramaEarly modern and Elizabethan, 1500-1600History and criticismEnglish drama17th centuryHistory and criticismArt and literatureEnglandHistory16th centuryArt and literatureEnglandHistory17th centuryMaterial culture in literatureHistory16th centuryMaterial culture in literatureHistory17th centuryVisual perception in literatureArt in literatureUnfinished works of artIconoclasm in literatureLiterature and literary studiesbicsscLiterature: history and criticism / Literary studies: plays and playwrightsbicsscLITERARY CRITICISMDramabisachBiography, Literature & Literary studiesLiterary studies: plays & playwrightsthemaliteratureplays and playwrightsApellesBrazen headEarly Modern EnglishEarly modern periodEnglandIconoclasmVisual artsVisual cultureWilliam ShakespeareEnglish dramaHistory and criticism.English dramaHistory and criticism.Art and literatureHistoryArt and literatureHistoryMaterial culture in literatureHistoryMaterial culture in literatureHistoryVisual perception in literature.Art in literature.Unfinished works of art.Iconoclasm in literature.Literature and literary studiesLiterature: history and criticism / Literary studies: plays and playwrights.LITERARY CRITICISMDrama.Biography, Literature & Literary studiesLiterary studies: plays & playwrights.822.309Porter Chloe802468Frost MatthewUkMaJRUBOOK9910132510403321Making and unmaking in early modern English drama2126213UNINA
