The study of representations of the body in Middle English biblical drama employs a multidisciplinary approach, drawing from epistemology, gender theory, and Foucauldian concepts to explore the body as a rich site for examining power, knowledge, and truth. By intertwining the conceptualizations of violence and the performativity of gender identity and roles, Estella Ciobanu posits that studying violence in drama provides valuable insights into the cultural and social aspects of the later Middle Ages. The text delves into these biblical plays through the lens of the devil, offering a distinctive perspective that uncovers medieval apprehensions about Christian teachings and power discourse. Through meticulous primary source analysis and interdisciplinary scholarship, Ciobanu constructs a text that critically interrogates the significance of performance beyond the theatrical realm.
