Critical investigation into the rubric of 'Shakespeare and the
visual arts' has generally focused on the influence exerted by the
works of Shakespeare on a number of artists, painters, and
sculptors in the course of the centuries. Drawing on the poetics of
intertextuality and profiting from the more recent concepts of
cultural mobility and permeability between cultures in the early
modern period, this volume's tripartite structure considers instead
the relationship between Renaissance material arts, theatre, and
emblems as an integrated and intermedial genre, explores the use
and function of Italian visual culture in Shakespeare's oeuvre, and
questions the appropriation of the arts in the production of the
drama of Shakespeare and his contemporaries. By studying the
intermediality between theatre and the visual arts, the volume
extols drama as a hybrid genre, combining the figurative power of
imagery with the plasticity of the acting process, and explains the
tri-dimensional quality of the dramatic discourse in the
verbal-visual interaction, the stagecraft of the performance, and
the natural legacy of the iconographical topoi of painting's
cognitive structures. This methodolical approach opens up a new
perspective in the intermedial construction of Shakespearean and
early modern drama, extending the concept of theatrical
intertextuality to the field of pictorial arts and their
social-cultural resonance. An afterword written by an expert in the
field, a rich bibliography of primary and secondary literature, and
a detailed Index round off the volume.
