Description

Performing Race and Torture on the Early Modern Stage offers the first comprehensive performance theory examination of Restoration plays, revealing how torture scenes and racial representations intersected during this critical period. This Routledge scholarly work explores the paradoxical early modern coding of racial identity as simultaneously fixed and socially constructed, demonstrating how performance analysis uncovers contradictions in racial depiction that textual study alone cannot. By focusing on theatrical torture scenes, the book illuminates the complex mechanisms through which race was culturally constructed and performed on stage, providing essential insights into Renaissance literature and theatre history. Ideal for scholars, students, and theatre historians studying early modern performance, cultural identity, and the representation of race in dramatic works.

Key Features

Part of Routledge Studies in Renaissance Literature and Culture series, offering peer-reviewed scholarly research on early modern performance and drama.

Applies performance theory methodology to Restoration plays, providing innovative analytical frameworks for understanding historical theatrical practice.

Examines torture scenes as primary evidence for understanding early modern racial representation and identity construction in theatre.

Explores the paradoxical early modern conception of race as both essentially fixed and socially constructed through dramatic performance.
