About this book

Perversion, Pedagogy and the Comic studies how the idea of theatre shaped Western consciousness during the Christian Middle Ages. The author looks at how the concept took hold as a metaphor that moved between different fields of thought.

The analysis draws on developments in Western philosophy, Christian theology and the history of theatre. It begins with Plato's objection to tragedy and follows the uneasy relationship between philosophy and drama.

Medieval scholars, theatre historians and students of the relationship between religion and performance are the main readers the book is aimed at.
