The Uses of this World examines how early modern theatre texts
dramatize the ways in which cultural space is produced. It
demonstrates that the theatre engaged fully with the fundamental
change in the social and philosophical organization of space which
took place in this period. Andrew Hiscock argues that Renaissance
drama interrogates models of social organization and spatial
boundaries defined by property relations, economic hierarchies,
historical custom and kinship ties, and stresses that space is not
a neutral, fixed and passive container, but emerges instead as a
socially constructed process. Plays considered include Hamlet, The
Jew of Malta, Antony and Cleopatra, Tragedie of Mariam (Elizabeth
Cary), Volpone and The Alchemist.
