- Double-weighted statement
- This is the first monograph-length, cultural materialist analysis of costume in Shakespeare production. It draws on early modern dramatic, discursive and visual material; theatre archival materials (reviews, costume ?bibles?, design sketches, performance recordings); live production; and practitioner interviews. It examines how costume produces meaning in the theatre and how contemporary culture?s relationship with the past is played out in the practice of designing and wearing costumes. It posits costume as a sign of power and its subversion; it suggests that costume might both reiterate and disrupt conservative forms of cultural nostalgia; it examines how costume constructs race and power.?
