Description

Performing Race and Torture on the Early Modern Stage offers a deep reading of Restoration plays through the lens of performance theory. This scholarly work examines how the combined performances of torture and race reveal early modern interests regarding racial identity. By analyzing these specific themes, the text demonstrates how race was coded in a paradoxical way, appearing both as something essentially fixed and as something socially constructed. The book uses scenes of torture as a primary method to uncover these contradictory representations of race. This study provides a unique perspective for students and researchers interested in Renaissance literature and the cultural history of the early modern stage.
