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,$x2947-7417 606 $aEuropean literature$xRenaissance, 1450-1600 606 $aFiction 606 $aDrama 606 $aPerforming arts 606 $aTheater 606 $aEarly Modern and Renaissance Literature 606 $aFiction Literature 606 $aDrama 606 $aTheatre and Performance Arts 615 0$aEuropean literature$xRenaissance, 1450-1600. 615 0$aFiction. 615 0$aDrama. 615 0$aPerforming arts. 615 0$aTheater. 615 14$aEarly Modern and Renaissance Literature. 615 24$aFiction Literature. 615 24$aDrama. 615 24$aTheatre and Performance Arts. 676 $a809.935610903 676 $a822.3093561 702 $aDunn$b Leslie C. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bUtOrBLW 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910863160403321 996 $aPerforming Disability in Early Modern English Drama$94167834 997 $aUNINA
