Zusatztext Offers a step in a new direction for the analysis of early modern drama. The collection contains strong and rich studies on the topics of reception, experience, and formal considerations ... The work contained in each essay will be valuable both to those interested in themes of time in Shakespeare’s age, or to scholars looking for insights into the individual plays under discussion. Informationen zum Autor Lauren Shohet is Luckow Family Professor of English at Villanova University, USA. Vorwort This original collection of essays provides a comprehensive view of temporality and early modern theatre through the range of its approaches and the texts it covers Zusammenfassung Focusing on Shakespeare and his contemporaries, these original essays by leading scholars explore how theatrical, aesthetic, and linguistic forms engage early modern experiences of temporality. Encompassing comedy, tragedy, history, and romance, some contributions consider how different models of pastness, presentness, sequentiality, memory, and historical meaning underwrite particular representational practices. Others, conversely, investigate how aesthetic forms afforded diverse ways for early-modern people to understand or experience time - and how this can impact us today.
