Shakespeare and Costume
The Arden Shakespeare (Verlag)
978-1-4725-2507-9 (ISBN)
Beginning with an overview of the stage history of Shakespeare and costume, the volume looks at the historical context of clothing in the plays, considering topics such as royal self-fashioning, festive livery practices, and conceptions of race and gender exhibited in clothing choice, as well as costume in performance. Drawing on documentary evidence in designers’ renderings, illustrations in periodicals, paintings, photographs, newspaper reviews and actors’ memoirs, the volume also explores costume designs in specific Shakespeare productions from the re-opening of the London theatres in 1660 to the present day.
Patricia Lennox is Global Lecturer at New York University, USA. Bella Mirabella is Associate Professor at NYU Gallatin, USA. She specializes in Renaissance studies, with a focus on drama, theater, performance and gender.
