Constructing'Monsters'in Shakespearean Drama and Early Modern Culture argues for the crucial place of the'monster'in the early modern imagination.

The study's new readings of Shakespeare, Marlowe and Jonson make a powerful case for the drama's contribution to debates about the'extraordinary body'. |
