Thinking Through Place on the Early Modern English Stage argues
that environment and embodied thought continually shaped one
another in the performance of early modern English drama. It
demonstrates this, first, by establishing how characters think
through their surroundings - not only how they orient themselves
within unfamiliar or otherwise strange locations, but also how
their environs function as the scaffolding for perception, memory,
and other forms of embodied thought. It then contends that these
moments of thinking through place theorise and thematise the work
that playgoers undertook in reimagining the stage as the setting of
the dramatic fiction. By tracing the relationship between these two
registers of thought in such plays as The Malcontent, Dido Queen of
Carthage, Tamburlaine, King Lear, The Knight of the Burning Pestle,
and Bartholomew Fair, this book shows that drama makes visible the
often invisible means by which embodied subjects acquire a sense of
their surroundings. It also reveals how, in doing so, theatre
altered the way that playgoers perceived, experienced, and imagined
place in early modern England.
