Summary:

"This volume uses theories of circulation to analyze the development of European secular and religious drama. It explores the relationship between tradition and innovation, the status of genre, the proportion of autonomous and heteronomous creational dispositions within given artefacts or within genres, and the strategies of functionalization in the context of a given part of the cultural net"-- Provided by publisher.
