  • More about Allegorising Thought on the Shakespearean Stage: The Discovery of the Mind

Shakespeare used staging elements to create complex characters and allegorical projections of their thoughts, reflecting early modern fascination with the human mind.

Format: Hardback
Length: 192 pages
Publication date: 31 August 2023
Publisher: Edinburgh University Press


Shakespeare's use of staging problems as opportunities for complex characterization is explored in this book. By harnessing the semiotic potential of playhouse architecture, stage space, gestures, stage properties, performance style, and audience participation, Shakespeare created allegorical projections of the characters' thoughts, reflecting early modern fascination with the hidden workings of the human mind. These features of production result in a rich and layered interpretation of the play's themes and characters.
