Description:
"This book investigates various modes of resistance to authority found in medieval Biblical drama. It concerns the ways in which the dissemination of power throughout culture is represented in these plays: the human body, objects, gender, politics, economics, law, and theater itself, as well as religion, are all registers in which such resistance may be enacted"--
