It means mischief?: Problematizing Representations of Actors with Down Syndrome in Growing Up Downs, Sarah Olive. 330 $aPerforming Disability in Early Modern English Drama investigates the cultural work done by early modern theatrical performances of disability. Proffering an expansive view of early modern disability in performance, the contributors suggest methodologies for finding and interpreting it in unexpected contexts. The volume also includes essays on disabled actors whose performances are changing the meanings of disability in Shakespeare for present-day audiences. By combining these two areas of scholarship, this text makes a unique intervention in early modern studies and disability studies alike. Ultimately, the volume generates a conversation that locates and theorizes the staging of particular disabilities within their historical and literary contexts while considering continuity and change in the performance of disability between the early modern period and our own. . 410 0$aLiterary disability studies. 606 $aEnglish drama$yEarly modern and Elizabethan, 1500-1600$xHistory and criticism 606 $aDisabilities in literature 606 $aPeople with disabilities in literature 615 0$aEnglish drama$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aDisabilities in literature. 615 0$aPeople with disabilities in literature. 676 $a809.935610903 702 $aDunn$b Leslie C. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bUtOrBLW 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910483327803321 996 $aPerforming disability in early modern English drama$92848730 997 $aUNINA
