[147]-156) and index.Introduction : a witness fit for purpose -- The public scene -- Enacting revenge -- Theatre of departure -- From David Lindsay to Skipper Lindsay -- The barren show.John McGavin here analyses narrative accounts of public theatricality in late medieval and early modern Scottish culture (pre-1645). He shows that journals, memoirs and chronicles record events which were often ambiguous in genre, confrontational in action and aimed at both present and future 'spectators'. McGavin demonstrates that early Scottish culture is revealed as much in its processes of witnessing as in that which it claims to witness.Studies in performance and early modern drama.English dramaScottish authorsHistory and criticismScottish dramaHistory and criticismTheaterScotlandHistoryEnglish dramaScottish authorsHistory and criticism.Scottish dramaHistory and criticism.TheaterHistory.822.009/9411McGavin John J.1950-1614814MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910812416703321Theatricality and narrative in medieval and early modern Scotland3944776UNINA
