He portrays early modern England as a culture of mediation, dominated by transactions in which one person stood in for another, giving voice to absent speakers or bringing past events to life. No art form related more immediately to this culture than the theatre. Arguing against the influential view that the period underwent a crisis of representation, Syme draws upon extensive archival research in the fields of law, demonology, historiography and science to trace a pervasive conviction that testimony and report, delivered by properly authorised figures, provided access to truth. Through detailed close readings of plays by Ben Jonson and William Shakespeare - in particular Volpone, Richard II and The Winter's Tale - and analyses of criminal trial procedures, the book constructs a revisionist account of the nature of representation on the early modern stage"--$$cProvided by publisher. 000446018 520__ $$a"The Authenticity of Mediation: A man dressed in a simple black gown or an elaborate robe of office stands before a crowd of listeners. He speaks, and as his audience attend to his words they understand that the words are not his at all, but belong to another, absent voice. Continuing to listen, they begin to hear, through the conduit of the man's body, that other voice as though its owner were speaking. And as the absent voice materializes, it conjures a world of absent events and people, meetings of kings or street brawls among drunkards, mundane business transactions or chilling encounters with the supernatural"--$$cProvided by publisher. 000446018 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 000446018 60010 $$aShakespeare, William,$$d1564-1616$$xStage history. 000446018 60010 $$aJonson, Ben,$$d1573?-1637$$xStage history. 000446018 650_0 $$aTheater and society$$zEngland$$xHistory$$y16th century. 000446018 650_0 $$aTheater and society$$zEngland$$xHistory$$y17th century. 000446018 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 000446018 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aSyme, Holger Schott.$$tTheatre and testimony in Shakespeare's England.$$dCambridge, UK ; New York : Cambridge University Press, 2012$$z9781107011854$$w(DLC) 2011019261$$w(OCoLC)726150274 000446018 85280 $$bebk$$hEBSCOhost 000446018 85640 $$3EBSCOhost$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site&db=nlebk&db=nlabk&AN=414528$$zOnline Access 000446018 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:446018$$pGLOBAL_SET 000446018 980__ $$aEBOOK 000446018 980__ $$aBIB 000446018 982__ $$aEbook 000446018 983__ $$aOnline 000446018 994__ $$a92$$bISE 000446018 999__ $$z634745825542257059
