Emanuel Stelzer considers this theory from the Elizabethan age up to the closing of the theatres. This book examines how the dramatic text and the subjectivities of the \u003ci\u003edramatis personae \u003c\/i\u003eare shaped and changed through the process of observation and interpretation of pictures in the dramatic actions and dialogues.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUnlike any previous study, it confronts when a portrait is clearly meant not to be a miniature. This also has bearings on the effect of the picture on the audience and in terms of genre expectation. Two important questions are interrogated in the book: What were the price and value of these portraits? and What were the strategies deployed by the playing companies to show women's portraits in a theatre without actresses? \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book will be of interest to different areas of research dealing with the history of drama and literature, material and visual culture studies, art history, gender studies, and performance studies. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Emanuel Stelzer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1138348392\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781138348394\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/16\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 270\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.23lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.63d","brand":"Emanuel Stelzer","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48136514896127,"sku":"9781138348394","price":200.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6a7835ac-a83d-4b83-adf1-3da7d338014f.jpg?v=1770163166","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/portraits-in-early-modern-english-emanuel-stelzer-9781138348394","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
