商品簡介
The trope of disguised ruler mixing with common folk goes back to antiquity, says actor-turned-scholar Quarmby (Halle Institute for Global Learning, Atlanta and Shakespeare's Globe, London), and he shows how Shakespeare and his contemporaries used it. He discusses the disguised ruler on the Elizabethan stage, The Malcontent: a play in two forms; conventionality in disguise in Measure for Measure; law, morality, and the medievalism of disguise in The Phoenix and The Fawn; and disguised ruler afterlives: the specter of terrorism.
