The scandal of images : iconoclasm, eroticism, and painting in early Modern English drama
"The Scandal of Images: Iconoclasm, Eroticism, and Painting in Early Modern English Drama is an interdisciplinary study that brings to light the radical, inventive ways Elizabethan dramatists, such as Shakespeare, Marston, and Lyly, appropriated and transformed painting for the stage. Through close examination of an unusual group of early modern English plays, some virtually unknown in the scholarly or theatrical worlds, this book offers a unique analysis of painting properties, picture tropes, and painter characters in light of the Protestant "scandal" of images and antitheatricalism."--Jacket
