Books by Richard C. Trexler

Trexler brings a new perspective to religious spectacle in an engrossing exploration of the annual passion play at Iztapalapa, the largest and poorest borough of Mexico City. After tracing the history of European passion theater, Trexler examines the process by which representations of the passion were established in the Americas.

Covering the history of Renaissance Florence from the fourteenth century to the beginnings of the Medici duchy, Trexler traces collective ritual behavior in all its forms.
