Speed and Flight in Shakespeare Hardback
by Matthew Steggle
Hardback
Description
Shakespeare's plays are fascinated by the problems of speed and flight.
They are repeatedly interested in humans, spirits, and objects that move very fast; become airborne; and in some cases even travel into space.
In Speed and Flight in Shakespeare, the first study of any kind on the subject, Steggle looks at how Shakespeare’s language explores ideas of speed and flight, and what theatrical resources his plays use to represent these states.
Shakespeare has, this book argues, an aesthetic of speed and flight. Featuring chapters on The Comedy of Errors, A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Romeo and Juliet, Henry V, Macbeth and The Tempest, this study opens up a new field around the ‘historical phenomenology’ of early modern speed.
