Book Description
Eight contributions from academics explore representations of gesture in medieval art as a means to understanding how gesture might have been used in medieval theater. Topics include, for example, a study of the main back panel of a 14th century Italian painting, which may echo the gestures in the dramas of the period, and body language in the illustrated manuscript at Aix-en-Provence. The text is accompanied by bandw illustrations of medieval art. c. Book News Inc.
