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.
