Produktinformationen zu „Shakespeare and Material Culture “
What is the significance of Shylock's ring in The Merchant of Venice? How does Shakespeare create Gertrude's closet in Hamlet? How and why does Ariel prepare a banquet in The Tempest? In order to answer these and other questions, Shakespeare and Material Culture explores performance from the perspective of the material conditions of staging. In a period just starting to be touched by the allure of consumer culture, in which objects were central to the way gender and social status were experienced but also the subject of a palpable moral outrage, this book argues that material culture has a particularly complex and resonant role to play in Shakespeare's employment of his audience's imagination.

Rezension zu „Shakespeare and Material Culture “
Catherine Richardson allows a reader to see how Shakespeare's plays depend on objects and spaces of the early modern stage. By using contemporary diagrams, the author provides a visual guide to the objects of the time alongside critically focused text. Times Higher Education Supplement Richardson's carefully researched, beautifully written study offers valuable critical insights into Shakespeare's plays and argues for the importance of things in Shakespeare's work ... Highly recommended. M S. Stephenson, Choice
