Performing women (eBook, ePUB)

Gender, self, and representation in late medieval Metz

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This study investigates the 'exceptional' staging of the life of Catherine of Siena by a female actor and a female patron in 1468 Metz. Integrating new approaches to drama, gender and patronage, it offers an original paradigm of female performance that positions women at the core of public culture.
