Scatology and Metadrama: The Self-Conscious Stage

This paper explores the presentation of identity in early modern literature (especially in Shakespeare's tragedy of Anthony and Cleopatra) by the analysis of links between scatology and metadrama. It shows that metadrama of the period creates distrust of the word's ability to accurately represent identity, while in the presentation of writing as a product of bodily functions, scatology encodes the anxiety of the materiality of the word.
