Speaking Pictures: The Visual/Verbal Nexus of Dramatic Performance by Jacquelyn

Description: Speaking Pictures by Jacquelyn Bessell, Fernando Cioni, Virginia Mason Vaughan Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description Speaking Pictures explores the complex negotiations between seeing and hearing essential to the audiences experience in any dramatic performance. Ranging chronologically from the Middle Ages to the present, the essays consider a variety of methods that help us recuperate the visual impact of theatrical spectacle before the age of video archives. The anthology takes its discussion of performance beyond the physical space of the theater to examine texts that were meant to be spoken but not literally performed, such as medieval pageantry and closet dramas of the nineteenth century. Many essays focus on the Early Modern English stage, particularly the challenges of recapturing the totality of the original audiences experience in Londons open air theaters by the examination of stage directions, text, and archival evidence. The collection concludes with a discussion of the contemporary actors challenge in physicalizing the language of Early Modern plays, especially Shakespeares.
