This text argues for the crucial place of the "monster" in the early modern imagination. Mark Thornton Burnett traces the metaphorical significance of "monstrous" forms across a range of early modern exhibition spaces - fairground displays, "cabinets of curiosity" and court entertainments - to contend that the "monster" finds its most intriguing manifestation in the investments and practices of contemporary theatre. The study's fresh readings of Shakespeare, Marlowe and Jonson make a powerful case for the drama's contribution to debates about the "extraordinary body".
