Argues that playwrights looked to fencing theory and performance
for physical cues and formal structure Demonstrates alternate
historical understandings of judgment training that are useful to
modern pedagogical contexts Analyses historical and formal elements
of plays and fencing manuals to reveal previously unnoticed shared
strategies for teaching timing Excavates an underexplored archive
of fencing Italian, English, and German fencing texts and brings to
bear their explicit instruction on teaching timing and judgment to
early modern drama Intervenes in current scholarship on Shakespeare
and Jonson to motivate misunderstood plotting and pacing decisions
Fencing, Form and Cognition on the Early Modern Stage reveals an
underexplored archive of Italian, English and German fencing texts,
which were designed explicitly to teach tempo and judgement. This
intervention in Shakespeare and Jonson scholarship provides
critical new insights into the plots, pacing and characterisation
of drama and attends to the ethical and pedagogical work displayed
and accomplished by fencing and dramatic devices. It yields a
robust theory of active waiting and brings the imbrications of
appropriate timing and ethical decision-making to the fore.
