- Assesses how select literary works "encode subversive possibilities within orthodox gestures."
- An opening essay explores the possibilities of the carnivalesque within an Augustinian framework, and subsequent essays examine such possibilities in WBT (revised reprint of SAC 16 [1994], no. 193); "Sir Gawain and the Green Knight"; Marlowe's works, especially "Tamburlaine" and "Dr. Faustus"; Elizabethan tragedy, especially "Hamlet" and "The Revenger's Tragedy"; and "Antony and Cleopatra".
