Type: Book Chapter Year: 2013 Publication Information: Uman, Staging the Blazon in Early Modern English Theatre, 67–81. : Uman, Staging the Blazon in Early Modern English Theatre Annotation: Draws on Measure for Measure to investigate how the blazoned subject's body on stage can be fortified (although temporarily) by the blazon conventions which traditionally dismember and hide a poetic subject.
