| Synopsis: |
This study offers an original analysis of the drama of Christopher Marlowe and Ben Jonson to illustrate how military technology altered the social place and role of military personnel, moving away from the image of a sword-bearing warrior to a finely dressed, cultured courtier. This study should appeal to scholars interested in Elizabethan and Jacobean drama and gender studies. This book examines the relationship between the military changes described in military manuals published in the latter half of the sixteenth-century and the portrayals of warfare and men who practice war in selected plays of Christopher Marlowe and Ben Jonson. The study argues that the sweeping technological and social changes that were part of the military revolution of the sixteenth century contribute to the negotiations of masculinity identified by many critics as a central concern of these plays, and that the effects of the military revolution of Elizabethan England were felt far beyond the confines of practice fields and military texts. |
