Subject: More theater books

On the topic of Theater books:

I've got a copy of "The Summons of Death on the Medieval and Renaissance
English Stage" by Phoebe S. Spinrad (1987, Ohio State University Press,
334 pages; originally $39) which I'd love to sell to an interested party.
The book is a scholarly text dealing with the iconography of death in the
middle ages, how death was handled on stage, the personification of Death,
among other topics.  The book discusses many plays of the period and has
chapters devoted to _Everyman_, _Tamburlaine_, _Doctor_Faustus_, _Measure_
for_Measure_, and _The_Duchess_of_Malfi_.  It also has extensive notes and
bibliography.

If anyone is interested in this, please e-mail me as sumner@acs.bu.edu
