Play Time - (Manchester Medieval Literature and Culture) by Daisy Black (Hardcover)

This book provides a groundbreaking re-theorization of gender and anti-Semitism in medieval biblical drama, offering a fresh perspective on the relationship between time, gender, and anti-Semitism in late-medieval plays.

Through an innovative approach that combines theories of gender, performance, anti-Semitism, queer theory, and periodization, the book challenges traditional readings of early theatre's biblical matriarchs and patriarchs, offering a nuanced understanding of lay attitudes towards time in Hebrew and Christian narratives.

With its focus on frequently taught plays as well as less familiar material, this book is an essential reading for specialist, undergraduate, and postgraduate researchers working on medieval performance, gender, and queer studies, Jewish-Christian studies, and time.

Don't miss out on this thought-provoking and insightful exploration of medieval drama and its relevance to contemporary debates on gender, anti-Semitism, and time.
