Elizabethan Grotesque (Routledge Revivals) - Routledge Revivals 1st edition

The comic grotesque is a powerful element in a great deal of Elizabethan literature, but one which has attracted scant critical attention. Neil Rhodes examines the nature of the grotesque in late sixteenth-century culture, and shows the part it played in the development of new styles of comic prose and drama in Elizabethan England.
