More about the book
The book explores the role of magicians, necromancers, and astrologers in European golden age theatre, focusing on characters who serve as physiognomists and palm readers. It examines how physiognomic lore is fictionalized as a form of divination in early modern Romance theatre, featuring notable figures like Pietro Aretino, Giordano Bruno, Lope de Vega, Calderón de la Barca, and Thomas Corneille. Through this analysis, it highlights the intersection of dramatic character development and early modern beliefs in divination.
