Cognition, Mindreading, and Shakespeare's Characters brings
cognitive science to Shakespeare, applying contemporary theories of
mindreading to Shakespeare's construction of character. Building on
the work of the philosopher Alvin Goldman and cognitive literary
critics such as Bruce McConachie and Lisa Zunshine, Nicholas Helms
uses the language of mindreading to analyze inference and
imagination throughout Shakespeare's plays, dwelling at length on
misread minds in King Lear, Much Ado About Nothing, Othello, and
Romeo and Juliet. Shakespeare manipulates the mechanics of
misreading to cultivate an early modern audience of adept
mindreaders, an audience that continues to contemplate the moral
ramifications of Shakespeare's characters even after leaving the
playhouse. Using this cognitive literary approach, Helms reveals
how misreading fuels Shakespeare's enduring popular appeal and
investigates the ways in which Shakespeare's characters can both
corroborate and challenge contemporary cognitive theories of the
human mind.
