Reviews
'A particular strength of this book is the attention paid to language. Throughout, Weigert offers illuminating analyses of words such as mystere, personnage, scena, theatrum, and vif (het levende/dlevende in Middle Dutch), which had broad semantic fields and for which there exist no direct equivalents in modern English. ... Readers interested in late medieval and early modern art history, history, literature, performance studies, and urban studies will find much to appreciate.'
