Beschreibung:
Using nine recent theatrical and cinematic productions as case studies, it considers the productive contradictions and tensions that occur when contemporary actors perform the gender norms of previous cultures. It will be of interest to theatre practitioners as well as to students of early modern drama, of performance, and of gender studies.
The first publication of its kind to chart changing medical and scientific attitudes towards emotions between 1700 and 1950, hence a major contribution to the relatively unexplored medical history of emotion
