Carnival and Theater: Plebeian Culture and the Structure of Authority in Renaissance England

By Michael D. Bristol

Book Overview

In Elizabethan England, the theatre was not so much an art form but the site of active institution-making, and a celebration of collective life. Bristol develops this argument by drawing on the work of Bakhtin and Durkheim.
