In \u003ci\u003eEarly Modern Spectatorship\u003c\/i\u003e contributors use the idea of spectatorship to reinterpret canonical early modern texts and bring visibility to relatively unknown works. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWhile many early modern spectacles were designed to influence those who watched, the very presence of spectators and their behaviour could alter the conduct and the meaning of the event itself. In the case of public executions, for example, audiences could both observe and be observed by the executioner and the condemned. Drawing on work in the digital humanities and theories of cultural spectacle, these essays discuss subjects as various as the death of Desdemona in Othello, John Donne's religious orientation, Ned Ward's descriptions of London, and Louis Laguerre's murals painted for the residences of English aristocrats. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eA lucid exploration of subtle questions, \u003ci\u003eEarly Modern Spectatorship \u003c\/i\u003eidentifies, imagines, and describes the spectator's experience in early modern culture.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ronald Huebert\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 077355677X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780773556775\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e McGill-Queen's University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/30\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 430\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.45lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.00w x 1.10d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/01\/2019","brand":"Ronald Huebert","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":49096714911999,"sku":"9780773556775","price":45.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/early-modern-spectatorship-ronald-huebert-9780773556775","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
