[231]-247) and index.The Figure of the Crowd in Early Modern London examines the cultural phenomenon of the urban crowd in the context of early modern London's population crisis. The book explores the crowd's double function as a symbol of the city's growth and as the necessary context for the public performance of urban culture. Its central argument is that the figure of the crowd acts as a supplement to the symbolic space of the city, at once providing a tangible referent for urban meaning and threatening the legibility of that meaning through its motive force and uncontrollable energy.Early modern cultural studies.English literatureEnglandLondonHistory and criticismEnglish dramaEarly modern and Elizabethan, 1500-1600History and criticismEnglish drama17th centuryHistory and criticismCrowdsEnglandLondonHistory17th centuryCrowdsEnglandLondonHistory16th centuryCrowds in literatureLondon (England)PopulationHistory17th centuryLondon (England)PopulationHistory16th centuryLondon (England)Intellectual lifeLondon (England)In literatureEnglish literatureHistory and criticism.English dramaHistory and criticism.English dramaHistory and criticism.CrowdsHistoryCrowdsHistoryCrowds in literature.820.9/32421Munro Ian1967-901140MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910784215503321The figure of the crowd in early modern London3858709UNINA
