The aim is to unravel the mechanisms through which pathos was produced and employed, mainly through the representation of pain and suffering, with mainly religious, but also political aims. The novelty of the book resides in its specific linguistic perspective, which highlights the recurrent use of words, structures and dialogic patterns in drama to reinforce messages on the salvific value of suffering, in synergy with visual messages produced in the same cultural milieu.Ludus15.Drama, MedievalHistory and criticismLiturgical dramaEuropeHistory and criticismTheaterEuropeHistoryMedieval, 500-1500Pathos in literatureChristian art and symbolismMedieval, 500-1500DramaTechniqueElectronic books.Drama, MedievalHistory and criticism.Liturgical dramaHistory and criticism.TheaterHistoryPathos in literature.Christian art and symbolismDramaTechnique.809.2/516Mazzon Gabriella1962-186880MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910466403603321Pathos in late-Medieval religious drama and art2034791UNINA
