This volume presents a contrastive study of the overlapping careers
of Shakespeare and Caravaggio through the comparison of their
strikingly similar conventional belief in symbol and the centrality
of the subject, only to gradually open it up in an exaltation of
multiplicity and the "indistinct regard" (Othello). Utilizing a
methodological premise on the notions of early modern indistinction
and multiplicity, Shakespeare, Caravaggio, and the Indistinct
Regard analyses the survival of English art after iconoclasm and
the circulation of Italian art and motifs, methodologically
reassessing the conventional comparison between painting and
literature. The book examines Caravaggio's and Shakespeare's works
in the perspective of the gradual waning of symbolism, the
emergence of chiaroscuro and mirror imagery underneath their
radically new concepts of representation, and the triumph of
multiplicity and indistinction. Furthermore, this work assesses the
validity of the twin concepts of multiplicity and indistinction as
an interpretive tool in a dialectical interplay with much recent
work on indeterminacy in literary criticism and the sciences.
