Description

What work did physically disabled characters do for the early modern theatre?Through a consideration of a range of plays, including Doctor Faustus and Richard III,the author argues that the figure of the physically disabled prosthetic body in early modern English theatre mediates a set of related likeness problems that structure the theatrical, textual, and critical lives of the plays of Shakespeare and his contemporaries. The first of these likeness problems is the relationship between actor and character: prosthetic disabled figures with names like Cripple and Stump capture the simultaneous presence of the imaginative world of the fiction and the material, embodied world of the theatre. The second likeness problem mediated by the bodies of early modern disabled characters is the relationship between plays in their theatrical and in their textual forms. This relationship, beginning in the period itself, has been understood in part through an appeal to disability: supposedly imperfect textual versions of plays are characterized as lame. Genevieve Love's study reveals how attention to physical disability enriches our understanding of early modern ideas about how theatre works, while illuminating in turn how theatre offers a reframing of disability as metaphor.
