Type: Book Chapter Year: 2013 Publication Information: Uman, Staging the Blazon in Early Modern English Theatre, 189–99. : Uman, Staging the Blazon in Early Modern English Theatre Annotation: Focuses on the trafficking of Cressida's body in Troilus and Cressida to suggest that the blazoning impulse fails to demarcate the subjective agent and the passive object in the play. Argues that Shakespeare theorizes literary models of agency in petrarchism and the matter of Troy through the blazoning of Cressida.
