Cosmetics in Shakespearean and Renaissance Drama
Farah Karim-Cooper (Author)
Examines how the plays of Shakespeare and his contemporaries dramatise the cultural preoccupation with cosmetics. This title analyses contemporary tracts that address the then-contentious issue of cosmetic practice and identifies a 'culture of cosmetics', which finds its visual identity on the Renaissance stage.
