Burnett traces the metaphorical significance of 'monstrous' forms across a range of early modern exhibition spaces - fairground displays, 'cabinets of curiosity' and court entertainments - to contend that the 'monster' finds its most intriguing manifestation in the investments and practices of contemporary theatre. The study's new readings of Shakespeare, Marlowe and Jonson make a powerful case for the drama's contribution to debates about the 'extraordinary body'.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mark Thornton Burnett\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1349422940\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781349422944\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Palgrave MacMillan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/01\/2002\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 262\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.72lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.59d","brand":"Mark Thornton Burnett","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48088033853695,"sku":"9781349422944","price":109.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_5acadd75-b7dd-4646-8e54-ed56396f09d5.jpg?v=1769102739","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/constructing-monsters-in-shakespeares-drama-mark-thornton-burnett-9781349422944","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
