GESTURE 

IN MEDIEVAL 

DRAMA AND ART

Edited by Clifford Davidson

Early Drama, Art, and Music

Monograph Series 28

From Amazon "Gesture and movement on stage in early drama have previously 

received very little attention in scholarship. The present collection of essays 

is the first book to present sensible, penetrating, and wide-ranging discussions 

of the gestural effects that were integral to the early stage. In addition to 

consideration of the influence of classical rhetoric and reference to medieval texts

 and documents, the essays carefully bring to bear evidence from the art 

of the period and hence will be of great importance for those interested in the 

visual arts as well as the theater; eschewing both the naive methodologies

 promoted in past criticism and ephemeral theoretical concerns, the book 

is truly ground-breaking. These essays will need to be perused by 

every serious theater historian or student 

of art concerned with the late Middle Ages."
