The Changeling: The State of Play
The Arden Shakespeare (Verlag)
978-1-350-28843-0 (ISBN)
The Changeling’s critical and theatrical history, and a selected bibliography for the volume helps readers easily find the most frequently cited materials in the volume as a whole, while individual essays detail the full expanse of critical sources to pursue for further analysis. With contributors ranging from highly regarded critics to emerging scholars drawn from the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, France and Switzerland, the collection equips readers to engage with a variety of critical approaches to the play, moving a long way beyond the last century’s tendency to treat Middleton as ‘the early modern Ibsen’, to ignore Rowley, and to focus almost wholly on a single aspect of the play’s plot.
Key themes and topics include:
· Performance
· Space and affect
· Authorial collaboration
· Gender and representation
· Violence
· Disability
