Why did Queen Elizabeth I compare herself with her disastrous ancestor Richard II torrent mac ebook 2011? Why would Ben Jonson transform Queen Anne and her ladies into Amazons as entertainment for the pacifist King James torrent mac ebook 2011? How do the concepts of costume as high fashion and as self-fashioning, as disguise and as the very essence of theater, relate to one another torrent mac ebook 2011? How do portraits of poets help make the author readers want, and why should books, the embodiment of the word, be illustrated at all torrent mac ebook 2011? What conventions connect image to text, and what impulses generated the great art collections of the early seventeenth century? In this richly illustrated collection on theater, books, art, and personal style, the eminent literary critic and cultural historian Stephen Orgel addresses himself to such questions in order to reflect generally on early modern representation and, in the largest sense, early modern performance. As wide-ranging as they are perceptive, the essays deal with Shakespeare, Jonson, and Milton, with Renaissance magic and Renaissance costume, with books and book illustration, art collecting, and mythography. All are recent, and five are hitherto unpublished.
