In a wide range of essays focused on early modern drama and the culture of theater, contributors explore how ideas of contagion not only inform representations of the senses (such as smell and touch) and emotions (such as disgust, pity, and shame) but also shape how people understood belief, narrative, and political agency. Epidemic thinking was not limited to medical inquiry or the narrow study of a particular disease. Shakespeare, Thomas Middleton, Ben Jonson, Thomas Dekker and other early modern writers understood that someone might be infected or transformed by the presence of others, through various kinds of exchange, or if exposed to certain ideas, practices, or environmental conditions. The discourse and concept of contagion provides a lens for understanding early modern theatrical performance, dramatic plots, and theater-going itself. 000899343 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 000899343 650_0 $$aEnglish drama$$yEarly modern and Elizabethan, 1500-1600$$xHistory and criticism. 000899343 650_0 $$aContagion (Social psychology) 000899343 650_0 $$aCommunicable diseases. 000899343 7001_ $$aChalk, Darryl,$$eeditor. 000899343 7001_ $$aFloyd-Wilson, Mary,$$eeditor. 000899343 77608 $$iPrint version:$$tContagion and the Shakespearean stage .$$dCham, Switzerland : Palgrave Macmillan, 2019$$z3030144275$$w(OCoLC)1108744949 000899343 830_0 $$aPalgrave studies in literature, science, and medicine. 000899343 852__ $$bebk 000899343 85640 $$3SpringerLink$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-030-14428-9$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 000899343 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:899343$$pGLOBAL_SET 000899343 980__ $$aEBOOK 000899343 980__ $$aBIB 000899343 982__ $$aEbook 000899343 983__ $$aOnline 000899343 994__ $$a92$$bISE
