Know about the book -
Playthings in Early Modernity is written by Allison Levy and published by Medieval Institute Publications. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 1580442617 (ISBN 10) and 9781580442619 (ISBN 13).
An innovative volume of fifteen interdisciplinary essays at the nexus of material culture, performance studies, and game theory, Playthings in Early Modernity emphasizes the rules of the game(s) as well as the breaking of those rules. Thus, the titular "plaything" is understood as both an object and a person, and play, in the early modern world, is treated not merely as a pastime, a leisurely pursuit, but as a pivotal part of daily life, a strategic psychosocial endeavor.
