Intertwining the conceptualizations of violence and the performativity of gender identity and roles, Estella Ciobanu argues that studying violence in drama affords insights into the cultural and social aspects of the later Middle Ages. The text investigates these biblical plays through the perspective of the devil and offers a unique lens that exposes medieval disquiets about Christian teachings and the discourse of power. Through detailed primary source analysis and multidisciplinary scholarship, Ciobanu constructs a text that interrogates the significance of performance far beyond the stage. 000844556 588__ $$aOnline resource; title from PDF title page (viewed August 7, 2018). 000844556 650_0 $$aBody image in the theater$$xReligious aspects. 000844556 650_0 $$aMysteries and miracle-plays, English$$xHistory and criticism. 000844556 650_0 $$aChristian drama, English (Middle)$$xHistory and criticism. 000844556 650_0 $$aHuman body in literature. 000844556 77608 $$iPrint version:$$z9783319909172 000844556 830_0 $$aNew Middle Ages (Palgrave Macmillan (Firm)) 000844556 85280 $$bebk$$hSpringerLink 000844556 85640 $$3SpringerLink$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-319-90918-9$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 000844556 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:844556$$pGLOBAL_SET 000844556 980__ $$aEBOOK 000844556 980__ $$aBIB 000844556 982__ $$aEbook 000844556 983__ $$aOnline 000844556 994__ $$a92$$bISE
