This book explores ways in which Shakespeare's writing strategies
shape our embodied perception of objects - both real and imaginary
- in four of his plays. Taking the reader on a series of perceptual
journeys, it engages in an exciting dialogue between the
disciplines of phenomenology, cognitive studies, historicist
research and modern acting techniques, in order to probe our
sentient and intuitive responses to Shakespeare's language. What
happens when we encounter objects on page and stage; and how we can
imagine that impact in performance? What influences might have
shaped the language that created them; and what do they reveal
about our response to what we see and hear? By placing objects
under the phenomenological lens, and scrutinising them as vital
conduits between lived experience and language, this book
illuminates Shakespeare's writing as a rich source for
investigation into the way we think, feel and communicate as
embodied beings.
